“I’ve Got to Make My Livin’ is a splendid study of the historical interplay of city space, race, class, gender, and sexual politics during the industrial era. In this engaging work, Cynthia Blair creates a compelling portrait and persuasive argument for black women’s participation in the underground sexual economy.”
