"This book recounts the life and career of Raquel Liberman, a Polish Jewish prostitute and victim of the White Slave Trade, which brought women from Eastern Europe to Argentina from the late 1880s to the 1930s. This volume sheds light on the events leading up to a dramatic confrontation between Raquel Liberman and the Zwi Migdal, the largest Jewish prostitution organization of the early twentieth century.
Liberman's struggle with the Zwi Migdal and her triumphant public victory over her oppressors was political cause celebre in its time. Nora Glickman's study is a new consideration of Liberman's historical significance, examining Liberman's recently released personal correspondence (translated textually from Yiddish) and details of Liberman's previously concealed private life."--Jacket.
