A Mexican American madam blew the whistle on San Antonio's illegal fees for brothels. What happened to her?
A brothel-owner named Emelia Garza was arrested in San Antonio for not paying licensing fees. She challenged the city, and won — forcing officials to alter their charter and rewrite the bawdy house ordinance. Soon after she was deemed insane and put in jail. Thanks to digitized records, we now know how her story ended.
