520    A vivid snapshot of America's journey from Victorian-era 
       propriety to 20th-century modernity. Step into the 
       perfumed parlors of the Everleigh Club, the most famous 
       brothel in American history--and the catalyst for a 
       culture war that rocked the nation. Operating in Chicago 
       at the dawn of the 20th century, the Club welcomed moguls 
       and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and
       literary icons into a stately double mansion, and the 
       Everleigh sisters treated their girls far better than most
       madams. But not everyone appreciated their attempts to 
       elevate the industry. Their most daunting foes were the 
       Progressive Era reformers, who sent the country into a 
       frenzy with lurid tales of "white slavery"--the allegedly 
       rampant practice of kidnapping young girls and forcing 
       them into brothels. This furor shaped America's sexual 
       culture and had repercussions all the way to the White 
       House, including the formation of the FBI.--From publisher
       description.
