Klappentext "Madam Millie contains sordid details and frank language that will make many readers blush. It is unvarnished language, as recorded directly from Millie by Max Evans over a period of almost twenty years. It presents a complete picture of the business of prostitution as it was practiced in the west from the late 1920s to the mid 1970s, told by the most successful madam in the business. Zusammenfassung Mildred Clark Cusey was a prostitute! a madam! an entrepreneur! and above all! a survivor. The story of Silver City Millie! as she referred to herself! is the story of one woman's personal tragedies and triumphs as an orphan! a Harvey Girl waitress on the Santa Fe railroad! a prostitute with innumerable paramours! and a highly successful bordello businesswoman.
