"Michael Rutter gives an excellent history lesson of the wild west. History about some of the most notorious madams and their girls. Famous outlaws and gunslingers and the women they loved. It gives you an understanding of why and how women entered the "world's oldest profession". I felt much heartache and sadness as I read some of the stories, but there are other parts that will make you laugh. Interesting facts and fascinating stories if you like history and the wild west."

"Rutter's simple, sparse writing comes across painfully and perfectly with the message: these women lived lives of almost unbearable despair. Sometimes the message is so bleak that it's almost too hard to read. Anyone who is still clinging to the image of the prostitute from the Western Hollywood movie should read this book."
