AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Mrs Waverley Brown is a member of the Congregational Church and secretary of the Higher Life and Purity Society. Speaking with an acquaintance in the society, she disparages women who work as prostitutes. In fact, Waverley Brown also is a prostitute. Her secret is discovered and, to avoid exposure, she quietly resigns her position in the society claiming 'highly strung nerves' and a period of 'dangerous excitement'.
