The Great Magdalens

A stirring biography of the Magdalen hospitals, institutions founded in the 18th century to provide refuge and rehabilitation to women who had fallen into prostitution. Blunt's passionate defense of these organizations and the women they served is as relevant today as it was in his own time, and his moving narratives of individual women's struggles and triumphs will inspire readers.
