Bertha’s Bookshelf: Uneasy Virtue

📚✨ Uneasy Virtue pulls back the curtain on America’s moral reform movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries. From the rise of “vice crusaders” to the battles fought in courtrooms, newspapers, and red-light districts, this book explores the clash between respectability, sexuality, and the women who lived at the center of it all. It’s a fascinating dive into how society tried—and often failed—to control desire.

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