Interesting stories of the women who 'ran' with the Wild Bunch - Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid, Kid Curry, and others. The writing is a bit boring at times but the stories are interesting.

Upstairs Girls begins with a history of prostitution in the West. The different classes of prostitution are explained; although prostitutes were looked down upon, there were different classes of them. The book ends with short biographies of 14 prostitutes -- these stories include both the madams who owned or managed the houses of prostitution, and the common prostitutes. The book includes a helpful glossary of terms in addition to a bibliography and index. This book is a popular rather than a scholarly history; although there are quotations, the book lacks footnotes/end-notes, and the works some of the quotations are attributed to do not appear in the bibliography.… (altro)

Despite the rather sensational subtitle this, is a fairly sober account of women sex workers in the west, many of then forced into prostitution by their socio-economic circumstances.
