一个妓女或者曾经是妓女的拿起笔来书写自己的风尘史的，在以前是没有过的。康素珍所写的《我的妓女生涯》堪称为我国历史上的第一部。
在本书中，康素珍用饱蘸血和泪的笔，以朴实无华的语言，状写了自己在旧社会受摧残，遭迫害的苦难经历。康素珍十三岁进妓院做了妓院，由成都而宝鸡而兰州，历经春熙院、民悦里、云廾里和一条街等四个妓院。在几年的卖笑生涯中，她由一个普通妓女一跃而为“红姑娘”，不仅接待过商贾、书生、地痞流氓，而且还侍奉过国民党要员胡宗南、马步芳等。她和她的姐妺们饱受了嫖客的蹂躏，老鸨的压榨，社会的歧视，她要把这些传晓后人，“让大读者同去看一看，在灯红酒绿、求欢卖笑的背后，那些善良姐妹们的彷徨、呐喊、低吟、忏悔、弱、堕落和反抗”。由此激发起读
者对党对社会主义的情感。

Well hello to you dear browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination and sometimes unexplained nudity, that accompanied childhood and adolescence?
Does everybody struggle with the hazards that accompany, say, sitting elegantly on a bar stool; using chopsticks; pretending to understand the bank crisis; pedicures - surely it's plain wrong for a stranger to fondle your feet? Or is it just me?
I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you too dear reader) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path.
Because frankly where is the manual? The much needed manual to life. Well, fret not, for this is my attempt at one and let's call it, because it's fun, a Miran-ual. I thank you.
