Publisher's Notes A female doctor chronicles her observations of and eye-opening interviews with the women living and working as legal prostitutes at Nevada's Mustang Ranch, the nation's largest brothel. Reprint.


Reviews "Acknowledging her own feelings (which range from disgust to profound respect), Albert convincingly dispels myths about this mysterious world and provides a strong defense for the legalization of prostitution."
"Part serious reflection on the realities of working in the sex industry, part fluffy expose, what Albert has to say is worth noting, if you can disregard how she says it. Think feature story in Oprah's O magazine, nestled somewhere between the life lessons and the daily goals calendar."
Leah Platt



Commentary In this study of legalized prostitution, a medical student focuses on a brothel in Nevada between 1993 and 1999. By drawing on interviews with the prostitutes, their clients, and the establishment's owners, she reveals how all participants relate like one big happy--and sometimes dysfunctional--family.
