Urban Reform and Sexual Vice in Progressive-Era Philadelphia: The Faithful and the Fallen
James H. Adams
This book examines the intersection and interplay between Progressive-Era rhetoric regarding commercialized vice and the realities of prostitution in early-twentieth-century Philadelphia. Adams asserts that reformers constructed a cultural view of prostitution that was based more upon their perceptions of the trade than on reality itself.
