Obscene, libidinous, loathsome, lascivious. Those were just some of the ways critics described the nineteenth-century weeklies that covered and publicized New York City’s extensive sexual underworld. Publications like the Flash and the Whip - distinguished by a captivating brew of lowbrow humor and titillating gossip about prostitutes, theater denizens, and sporting events - were not the sort generally bound in leather for future reference, and despite their popularity with an enthusiastic readership, they quickly receded into almost complete obscurity.

Quotes from others about the person
“Certainly the best feature of Cohen’s consistently superior study is her attention to the relationship between numeracy and culture. Besides the central point that Americans counted, she reminds us, what and how they counted is significant.” - Joseph E. Illick
On June 27, 1969, Patricia married Benjamin Jack Cohen. They have two children: Jeremy Aaron and Daniel Cline.
