In 1910, a remarkable correspondence began between a wealthy and distinguished Bostonian philanthropist, Fanny Quincy Howe, and Maimie Pinzer, a Jewish prostitute living in Philadelphia and recovering from a morphine addiction developed after the loss of an eye. The Maimie Papers is Maimies side of that correspondence, offering an unprecedented and still unique account of the life of a woman of the streets and her inspiring transformation.An afterword by Ruth Rosen traces the elusive trail of Mamies life following the end of her correspondence, from an elegant apartment in Chicago to a new life in the glamorous Southern California of the late 1920s. The Mamie Papers introduces an unforgettable woman with a powerful writers voice, of whom the New York Times Book Review says, Mamie writes like a dream. . . . An astonishing book.
