A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil

Assesses the vulnerability of the rural and immigrant working-class girls who moved to Chicago and fell prey to the sexual bartering of what was known as the white slave trade. The author offers accounts - drawn from the records of Chicago's Juvenile Protection Association - of young women coerced into lives of prostitution by men.
