Girls Who Went Wrong: Prostitutes in American Fiction, 1885-1917
University of Wisconsin Press
One group of male authors created fiction about the prostitute. The author examines how they attempted to turn an outcast into a heroine in a literature otherwise known for its puritanical attitude toward fallen women. She re-evaluates Stephen Crane's ""Maggie: A Girl of the Streets"", and other works of fiction. She draws on many period sources.
