The population was on a continuous rise after the Chicago world’s fair of 1893; malls catering to consumers were popping up all over the city, buildings were beginning to scrape the sky, and industry of all kinds was flourishing. This rapid urbanization process allowed one more thing to spread: vice. Vice was running rampant in the streets of Chicago. Thievery, gambling, drinking, and bribery were all common in the city.1 One vice in particular, prostitution, became a fix in the city’s seedy underground, also known as the Levee District. Although there were many brothels, flats, hotels, saloons, and street walkers in Chicago, only two women held the title of “Queens of the Levee district,” Enter Ada and Minna Everleigh2. Together, these sisters opened and operated one of the most renowned brothels in the world for over ten years. The study of prostitution and vice is not new; what has changed about these studies are the types of questions being asked.
