This book was released on 2021-12-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. In June 1831 the New York Magdalen Society published its first annual report. The Society charged that widespread sexual deviation, primarily in the form of prostitution, existed in New York City. The Magdalen Report claimed that approximately ten thousand women earned their livings as public prostitutes, and another ten thousand were “private or part-time prostitutes.” The Magdalen Society’s establishment and the subsequent publication of the Magdalen Report marked the beginning of a crusade in New York City to curtail sexual deviation and this study looks at the changes and reforms that took place.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A challenge to viceThis book examines New York reformers' efforts during the Jacksonian era to prevent young women and men from straying into sexual vice. Convinced that sin was voluntary, and thus subject to eradication, the reformers attacked such vices as drinking alcohol, and sexual misconduct. The "wicked city" would be purified and made into a proper Christian community.Help for prostitutesReform organizations first exposed the city's growing prostitution problem by enumerating the prostitutes and describing their condition. To rescue the women, the reformers made modest efforts to establish asylums where the women could learn proper morals and receive alternative vocational training. By the mid 1930s the Female Benevolent Society's asylum cared for a small but steady number of penitents, returning most of them to their families or placing them as servants in private homes.Shame for clientsA split in the reform efforts came in 1834 when some reformers gave up on prostituterescue and began to focus on the prevention of sexual misconduct. The Female Moral Reform Society targeted male seducers by seeking an anti-seduction law and by publishing the names of prostitutes patrons. In addition, the Society formulated a code of conduct for women and men to prevent them from falling victim to the city's enticements. The Society exposed many women for the first time to the city's working class conditions and made them aware of how poverty and economic difficulties contributed to the prostitution problem. At the same time, the women's expertise made some of them take notice of women's conditions in general, and become determined to bring changes to the male-dominated community.

Download or read book Gotham written by Edwin G. Burrows and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-19 with total page 1413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To European explorers, it was Eden, a paradise of waist-high grasses, towering stands of walnut, maple, chestnut, and oak, and forests that teemed with bears, wolves, raccoons, beavers, otters, and foxes. Today, it is the site of Broadway and Wall Street, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, and the home of millions of people, who have come from every corner of the nation and the globe. In Gotham, Edwin G. Burrows and Mike Wallace have produced a monumental work of history, one that ranges from the Indian tribes that settled in and around the island of Manna-hata, to the consolidation of the five boroughs into Greater New York in 1898. It is an epic narrative, a story as vast and as varied as the city it chronicles, and it underscores that the history of New York is the story of our nation. Readers will relive the tumultuous early years of New Amsterdam under the Dutch West India Company, Peter Stuyvesant's despotic regime, Indian wars, slave resistance and revolt, the Revolutionary War and the defeat of Washington's army on Brooklyn Heights, the destructive seven years of British occupation, New York as the nation's first capital, the duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, the Erie Canal and the coming of the railroads, the growth of the city as a port and financial center, the infamous draft riots of the Civil War, the great flood of immigrants, the rise of mass entertainment such as vaudeville and Coney Island, the building of the Brooklyn Bridge and the birth of the skyscraper. Here too is a cast of thousands--the rebel Jacob Leisler and the reformer Joanna Bethune; Clement Moore, who saved Greenwich Village from the city's street-grid plan; Herman Melville, who painted disillusioned portraits of city life; and Walt Whitman, who happily celebrated that same life. We meet the rebel Jacob Leisler and the reformer Joanna Bethune; Boss Tweed and his nemesis, cartoonist Thomas Nast; Emma Goldman and Nellie Bly; Jacob Riis and Horace Greeley; police commissioner Theodore Roosevelt; Colonel Waring and his "white angels" (who revolutionized the sanitation department); millionaires John Jacob Astor, Cornelius Vanderbilt, August Belmont, and William Randolph Hearst; and hundreds more who left their mark on this great city. The events and people who crowd these pages guarantee that this is no mere local history. It is in fact a portrait of the heart and soul of America, and a book that will mesmerize everyone interested in the peaks and valleys of American life as found in the greatest city on earth. Gotham is a dazzling read, a fast-paced, brilliant narrative that carries the reader along as it threads hundreds of stories into one great blockbuster of a book.
