The Revolt of Mamie Stover

''The Revolt of Mamie Stover'' is a 1951 novel by William Bradford Huie about a young woman from Mississippi who goes to Hollywood to work as an actress. Driven into prostitution, she moves to Honolulu, works at a brothel and takes it over, challenges restrictions against prostitutes after the US armed forces are built up on the island, buys real estate, and becomes a wealthy war profiteer.
==Plot==
''The Revolt of Mamie Stover'' is an allegory for the decline of American society because of the country-wide democratization that conflict made possible. Using a Honolulu prostitute to state his case, Huie shows her rise economically, socially, and politically with the aid, in part, of the Federal government as she flouts local regulation (prostitution itself being legal at the time). As the war progresses, Stover becomes a war profiteer: coming to control property, accumulate vast wealth in cash, and visit proscribed beaches in the company of US military officers.
''The Revolt of Mamie Stover'' is the first volume in a trilogy including ''The Americanization of Emily'' (1959), and ''Hotel Mamie Stover'', (1963) all of which share the same narrator. In the first and third books, he is primarily present in order to observe and report, while in the second he relates his experiences in the late stages of World War II.
