Women Of New York: Or The Underworld Of The Great City (1869)

The Women of New York: Or The Underworld of the Great City is a book written by George Ellington in 1869. It provides a detailed and eye-opening account of the lives of women living in the seedy underbelly of New York City during the late 19th century. The book covers a wide range of topics, including prostitution, gambling, and other illegal activities that were prevalent in the city at the time. Ellington explores the harsh realities of life for these women, many of whom were forced into their professions due to poverty and lack of opportunities. He also delves into the social and economic factors that contributed to the rise of the underworld in New York City. The Women of New York is a fascinating and disturbing look at a dark period in the city's history, and offers a unique perspective on the lives of women during this time.Illustrating The Life Of Women Of Fashion, Women Of Pleasure, Actresses And Ballet Girls, Saloon Girls, Pickpockets And Shoplifters, Artists������� Female Models, Women-Of-The-Town, Etc.
