Lethbridge’s Red Light District was seldom mentioned until author Belinda Crowson started giving tours of downtown Lethbridge. An anonymous concerned citizen called her one night to let her know that it was not “appropriate” to talk about those women and the controversial history that went along with them. Citizens tried to bury and hide this topic for over 100 years, so this book stands to uncover all of the stories and secrets. Through these stories, we can begin to understand how the Red Light District connects with and explains a great deal of Lethbridge history and society. The women who worked there seemed like a world apart to most people, but they were actually tightly woven into Lethbridge’s fabric and played a role in making the city into what it is today.
