Berth’a Bookshelf: The Lost Sisterhood

✨✨This week we will finish up The Lost Sisterhood, written by the historical editor of the acclaimed Maimie Papers, Ruth Rosen. This powerful work explores two worlds colliding in urban America: the women who chose prostitution as a means of survival and independence, and the middle-class reformers determined to erase it from the city streets. Through personal stories, social tensions, and reform movements, the book reveals what these women believed, feared, and fought for during a time of rapid change—and how their struggles shaped modern attitudes toward prostitution and women as a whole.

👉 Perfect for history buffs, feminists, and anyone intrigued by the hidden stories behind America’s fight over “morality.”
