Much has been written about trafficking of foreign women, but 100 years ago the problem was the opposite.

This book considers the stories of the women who were subjected to trafficking, the agents who made money out of them and the organisations that worked hard to stop the trade in women.

In America, ’the most dangerous country in the world' with regard to falling into the hands of traffickers, 60,000 women disappeared every year. Many of them were Norwegian, and nobody ever went looking for them.
