If anyone is interested in Chicago history, history of brothels and prostitution, or how the Mann Act came into being, I would recommend this book.

However, this book can be a slow read at times and all of the people can be confusing at first. I was expecting to read mostly about brothels, but this is a much wider reaching book that delves into those people who are both for and against brothels. Hope this review helps!
