Save the Girls

by Mason Long

Save the Girls is a stark and cautionary tale that reflects the moral anxieties of late 19th-century America. Mason Long, a reformed gambler, uses his own experience to expose the perils of city life and the exploitation of women. The book serves as a stark warning against the temptations of urban environments, particularly for vulnerable young women. Long meticulously presents portraits of young women from various backgrounds who fall victim to the allure of nightlife and are drawn into a life of vice. He highlights the dangers of dancing halls, racetracks, and casual encounters, depicting a world where innocent pursuits can quickly lead to a downward spiral. The book offers a glimpse into the social anxieties of the era, exposing the darker underbelly of American society and the vulnerabilities of women in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
