The paper tried to place moral pressure on men, urging them to stay away from prostitutes and refrain from seeking their services. The American Female Moral Reform Society also ran "safe houses" for women who had just moved to New York.

She was jailed many times over the course of her life for publicly speaking and writing about her beliefs. In the early 1900’s she worked in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a neighborhood of mostly poor, immigrants. She treated many women after “back alley abortions” or attempts at self-induced abortion. “No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously decide whether she will or will not be a mother,” (The Biography Website, 2014) It wasn’t until 1936 that the Supreme Court ruled that doctors could legally prescribe and discuss birth control methods. While I don’t agree with her thoughts on eugenics, I strongly believe in the right of every person to make decisions regarding their own health.

Another was with the stockbroker and her getting the check and as soon as the people spoke to Tan it was another story. In other words when Tan spoke with proper English she was treated differently opposed to how her mother was treated for speaking her limited English.

Smaller businesses were affected as well. Samuel Pepys said in 1665, “Nobody will dare to buy any wig, for fear of the infection.” While some businesses plummeted greatly, other businesses flourished. “[Nurses] made the patients die more quickly, because the sooner they died, the sooner the nurses collected the fees they had agreed on,” wrote Miguel Parets in 1651.
