The Bawdy House Girls

A Look at the Brothels of the Old West

Plot

The reader of this book will come away with a better understanding of the desolate and forlorn bordello girl, who, too often, had no place else to go. Many were gentle and kind hearted. Take Madame Paulin, who on hearing of a desperate family in dire straits, provided a house for the family and a job for the father. Her generosity wasn't known until her death. In the west, the bawdy house girls filled an obvious need, or they wouldn't have survived as long as they did. There is indeed more to the world of the bawdy house girls than the way they plied their trade. Many girls left the trade as soon as they could, usually by marriage. Others, however, were hooked on the business, and couldn't have left the wild life even if they wanted to. We assure you an interesting read in The Bawdy House Girls. You might even change your perception of them. -- Back cover.
