SUMMARY:Bertha's Bookshelf-Behind Brothel Doors
DESCRIPTION:Hidden in plain sight. Whispered about\, judged\, and often erased from the history books — yet absolutely essential to the growth of the American West. \nProstitution\, the so-called “oldest profession\,” wasn’t just scandal on the frontier — it was big business. It fueled boomtown economies\, supported camps and cities\, and helped shape communities as they grew. Behind brothel doors were women navigating survival\, ambition\, and power in a world stacked against them. \n📖 Our next book club read isBehind Brothel Doors: The Business of Prostitution in Kansas\, Nebraska\, and Oklahoma (1860–1940) \n🕙 Join us Saturday January 10th at 10:00 AM as we begin uncovering the stories history tried to forget. \n✨ More than taboo. More than rumor. This is frontier history\, unfiltered. \n💬 Can’t join us in person? No problem!Visit https://misslaurasmuseum.com/contact-us/\, fill out the form\, and we’ll add you to the virtual meeting link so you can join the discussion from anywhere.

SUMMARY:Bertha's Bookshelf-Behind Brothel Doors
DESCRIPTION:🕙 Join us Saturday January 24th at 10:00 AM as we finish up our January read. \nThey were rule-breakers\, risk-takers\, and community builders. \nFrom common working women to powerful madams like Anna Wilson\, Maggie Wood\, and Big Ann Wynne\, these women defied social norms to carve out independence\, wealth\, and influence — often at great personal cost. Some entered the life out of desperation. Others chased freedom and financial control unavailable anywhere else. \nIn return\, they faced judgment\, violence\, illness\, fines\, jail\, and lives cut short — while their successes were quietly buried alongside their names. \nBehind Brothel Doors: The Business of Prostitution in Kansas\, Nebraska\, and Oklahoma (1860–1940) tells the complicated\, human story of resilience\, ambition\, tragedy\, and survival. \n💬 Can’t join us in person? No problem!Visit https://misslaurasmuseum.com/contact-us/\, fill out the form\, and we’ll add you to the virtual meeting link so you can join the discussion from anywhere. \nWhose stories get remembered — and whose are left behind?

SUMMARY:Bertha's Bookshelf: Upstairs Girls
DESCRIPTION:Upstairs Girls by Michael Rutter pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of prostitution in the American West—where the most sought-after women lived and worked upstairs\, away from the saloons and streets below. From lavish parlor houses and powerful madams to the harsh realities faced by working women\, this fascinating nonfiction work explores how sex work shaped frontier towns\, local economies\, and social reform movements. You’ll discover surprising details about class divisions within brothels\, the influence of the Moral Purity Movement\, and the often-overlooked roles these women played in Western history. ALthough this book contains some really important information it is a great example of why research matters. When authors only do superficial research they perpetuate myths and legends. It is our goal at Miss Laura’s to put these to rest. \n📅 Join us February 7 at 10 AM for an engaging discussion that brings these stories to life. \nCan’t join us in person? No problem!
