Ladies of the Night: A Historical and Personal Perspective on the Oldest Profession in the World

Written by Gene Simmons

Narrated by Gene Simmons

Rock legend, best-selling author, reality television star, accomplished entrepreneur, and renowned ladies' man Gene Simmons presents an entirely original take on a traditionally taboo topic—prostitution. In this informative and entertaining mix of narrative history and Simmons' own unique philosophy, the Kiss frontman delves deep into the legacy of the oldest profession in the world. From the very first cavewoman to the brothel-women of Rome; from the geisha girls of Japan to the courtesans of Europe's Renaissance period; and from the saloon ladies of the Wild West to today's modern madams and high-end call girls, Gene covers it all. At once audacious and enlightening, Ladies of the Night is an entirely original take on a traditionally taboo topic.
