thumb Rose Livingston (circa 1885-?), known as the Angel of Chinatown, was a suffragist who worked to free prostitutes and victims of sexual slavery. ==Biography== She was born around 1885. In 1912 while trying to rescue a prostitute she was severely beaten: "serious and permanent damage ... a fracture of the alveolar process of the upper jaw bone which caused severe neurities () with persistent neuralgic pain both day and night ... likewise causing the loss of all the teeth of the upper jaw on one side of the face." In 1914 she participated in one of the Suffrage Hikes from Manhattan to Albany, New York. In 1929, she was awarded a gold medal by the National Institute of Social Science.〔 In 1934 she was found living in poverty, and a retirement fund was established for her. In 1937 she was awarded a silver cup by Edith Claire Bryce (1880-1960) of the Peace House for her "deeds of courage without violence". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rose Livingston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
