“To enumerate the different trades by which the women in New York are endeavoringnot to livethat for many of them is as utterly unattainable a goal as the end of the rainbowbut simply to postpone as long as possible their appearance at the morgue or the cemeteryto attempt to do this would be useless.”

“The brawniest will not beat back the storm
Nor the heaviest haul your little boy from harm.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.”
—Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and madam. Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)
