520    "San Francisco's Queen of Vice uncovers the story of one 
       of the most skilled, high-priced, and corrupt abortion 
       entrepreneurs in America. Even as Prohibition was the 
       driving force behind organized crime, abortions became the
       third-largest illegal enterprise as state and federal 
       statutes combined with changing social mores to drive 
       abortionists into hiding. Inez Brown Burns, a notorious 
       socialite and abortionist in San Francisco, made a fortune
       providing her services to desperate women throughout 
       California. Beginning in the 1920s, Burns oversaw some 150,
       000 abortions until her trial and conviction brought her 
       downfall. In San Francisco's Queen of Vice, Lisa Riggin 
       tells the story of the rise and fall of San Francisco's 
       "abortion queen" and explores the rivalry between Burns 
       and the city's newly elected district attorney, Edmund G. 
       "Pat" Brown (father of the present governor of 
       California). Pledging to clean up the graft-ridden city, 
       Brown exposed the hidden yet not-so-secret life of 
       backroom deals, political payoffs, and corrupt city cops. 
       Through the arrest, prosecution, and conviction of Burns, 
       Brown used his success as a stepping-stone for his 
       political rise to California's governor's mansion. 
       Featuring an array of larger-than-life characters, Riggin 
       shows how Cold War domestic ideology and the national 
       quest to return to a more traditional America quickly 
       developed into a battle against internal decay. Based on a
       combination of newspaper accounts, court records, and 
       personal interviews, San Francisco's Queen of Vice reveals
       how the drama played out in the life and trial of one of 
       the wealthiest women in California history"--|cProvided by
