Red House Alley is the first complete English translation of Else Jerusalem's revolutionary novel about sex workers in 19th century Vienna. Jerusalem ripped away the veil of moral hypocrisy that viewed prostitutes as predators who lured men into their clutches and showed the women as victims exploited by pimps, madams, and the police.

Jerusalem ripped away the veil of moral hypocrisy that viewed prostitutes as predators who lured men into their clutches, showing the women as victims of pimps, madams, and the police. Its frank portrayal of the sex trade led the Nazis to ban the book in 1933, after which it was forgotten for over 80 years. Red House Alley is destined to take its rightful place as a classic of feminist literature.

Else Jerusalem was an Austro-Hungarian writer best known for her 1909 novel Der Heilige Skarabäus about sex workers in 19th century Vienna. One of the first women to attend the University of Vienna, she was denied a diploma by the rules of her time but quickly became recognized as an advocate and social reformer. Der Heilige Skarabäus became a best-seller in German-speaking nations after its publication but was banned after the Nazis came to power and forgotten until reissued in by DVB Verlag in 2017. She emigrated to Argentina with her second husband in 1911 and died there in 1943.
