The Social Disease And How To Fight It: A Rejoinder (1914)

The Social Disease And How To Fight It: A Rejoinder is a book written by Louise Creighton and published in 1914. The book is a response to an earlier publication titled The Social Evil in London, which argued that prostitution was a necessary evil that could not be eradicated. Creighton, on the other hand, believed that prostitution was a social disease that needed to be fought and eliminated.In her book, Creighton discusses the causes and effects of prostitution, and argues that it is not a necessary evil, but rather a result of poverty, lack of education, and social inequality. She also proposes various solutions to the problem, including education, social reform, and the establishment of homes for women in need.Creighton's book is a powerful critique of the prevailing attitudes towards prostitution in early 20th century England, and a call to action for social reformers and activists. It remains a valuable historical document that sheds light on the social and moral issues of the time, and continues to inspire those who fight for social justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
