    Can't imagine the life of that woman. Through this picture, I can see and think that at those times, poverty came to such a degree, that people had to do any thing to at least eat

    A prostitute in the 1870s. Can't imagine how hard her life must have been.
  • bensonklemme said:
    eh she was probably trying to just get herself through college
  • MsMarchHare said:
    As a widow she likely turned to prostitution to feed her family
  • Laura said:
    Not a very successful prostitute maybe...
  • kmeccat said:
    a 34 yr old widow...probably several kids to feed. Not many options left to her until she could get another husband.
