"An exciting and beautiful story." —Ottessa MoshfeghThe collected memoirs of a 1913 San Francisco sex worker, their effect on society at the time, and where they fit in today's world. Winner of the 2015 California Historical Society Book AwardIn 1913 the San Francisco Bulletin published a serialized, ghostwritten memoir of a prostitute who went by the moniker Alice Smith. "A Voice from the Underworld" detailed Alice's humble Midwestern upbringing and her struggle to find aboveboard work, and it candidly related the harrowing events she endured after entering "the life." Never had prostitute narratives been as frank in their discussion of topics such as abortion, police corruption, and the unwritten laws of the brothel. The response to Alice's story was unprecedented: Four thousand letters poured into the Bulletin, many of which were written by other prostitutes ready to share their own stories; and it inspired what may have been the first sex worker rights protest in modern history. With Alice, filmmakers and writers Ivy Anderson and Devon Angus present the memoirs of Alice Smith and a selection of letters her story elicited. In an introduction contextualizing Alice's story, they reveal themes that extend from Alice's experience in the early twentieth century to issues facing sex workers today. This edition features a new preface detailing the discoveries made about this history since the book's original publication in 2016.
