Old Westbury, NY, Feminist Press, 1977.. Octavo, softcover, VG in white and brown pictorial wraps. Hint of cover wear, interior clean and unmarked. 439pp, Index. In 1910, a remarkable correspondence began between a wealthy and distinguished Bostonian philanthropist, Fanny Quincy Howe, and Maimie Pinzer, a Jewish prostitute living in Philadelphia and recovering from morphine addiction developed after the loss of an eye. This is Maimie's side of that correspondence, offering an unprecedented and still unique account of the life of a woman of the streets and of her inspiring transformation.
