Save the Girls
by Mason Long
'Save the Girls' Summary
Save the Girls delves into the social evils of prostitution, offering a powerful critique of the exploitation of women in 19th-century America. Mason Long, a former gambler, paints a vivid picture of the dangers that lurked in the city, particularly for women. The book weaves a series of tragic stories of young women from various social classes who are lured into a life of vice by the glittering allure of city life. From the seductive atmosphere of dance halls and racetracks to the casual encounters on the streets, Long exposes the ways in which innocent young women could be preyed upon by unscrupulous men. The narrative highlights the devastating consequences of succumbing to the temptations of urban environments, exposing the vulnerability of women and the dangers of a society where moral boundaries are easily crossed. Through these poignant stories, Long seeks to raise awareness about the plight of these women and to urge social reform to protect them from the harsh realities of exploitation.Book Details
