| Summary | "Tragedies of the White Slave" by H. M. Lytle is a gripping collection of true stories exposing the horrific methods used to trap innocent girls into white slavery, written in the early 20th century. This work seeks to shine a harsh light on the realities of human trafficking, with each narrative detailing different experiences of young women ensnared in this immoral web. Lytle, who served as a special investigator for the Metropolitan Press, delves into the lives of these victims, aiming to raise awareness and provoke a sense of urgency in protecting the vulnerable. The opening of the book sets a somber tone, revealing unsettling statistics about the high number of young girls falling victim to human trafficking in Chicago. It begins with a foreword that underscores the need for awareness, emphasizing the tragic fate of many innocent girls who are lured into lives of degradation. Following this, the reader is introduced to the story of a once-innocent girl who falls prey to deception and cruelty at a maternity home, showcasing how trust can lead to devastation. Her heart-wrenching ordeal is a sobering precursor to the other tragedies described, illustrating the depth of despair and loss of identity experienced by victims of white slavery.
