Excerpt from Slavery of Prostitution: A Plea for Emancipation Young women are not living lives of prostitution simply because they wish to do so, but because of large profits which are being reaped by the commercialization of vice and because of factors which lie deeply rooted in social conditions. This is the crucial fact which during the last decade has revolutionized the public attitude toward prostitution. A new scientific and humanitarian spirit sharply challenges the necessity of this ancient evil. It holds that since nothing that is necessary is evil, nothing that is evil can be necessary. The traditional methods of dealing with vice totter and fall before this new spirit. Open toleration of resorts, and punishment of women offenders by fines and prison sentences, are abhorrent to the sense of justice born of an awakened social conscience. Loss of confidence in old methods compels us to discover new ways of grappling with this difficult problem. As a basis for this, knowledge of existing conditions is necessary. This book is neither a "vice report" nor a philosophical treatise, but an earnest study of what I consider without sensationalism or exaggeration to be the slavery of prostitution. This phrase is the only one which describes the condition of a large number of the girls and women whom I have known in the Night Court in New York City and of many of the three thousand girls whom I have known through the New York Probation and Protective Association. These girls have not been, except in rare instances, physically enslaved; but through loss of freedom, of will and of action, they have been bound to prostitution. Their demoralization of character has constituted moral enslavement. It is possible to free girls from the slavery of prostitution by helping those to have been enmeshed in it and by preventing others from entering it.
