Wrong Women

Selling Sex in Monto, Dublin's Forgotten Red Light District

Beschreibung

Tucked away in Dublin's north inner city, Monto made headlines for wild tales of debauchery. However, what happened to the women and girls within its brothels in life and death is less well known. Weaving together oral histories, historical records and family memories, Caroline West delivers an investigation into the heartbreaking treatment of the women that worked there, while delving into the impact of class, sexual violence and British colonialism on the women's survival.

She is the host of the Glow West podcast which focuses on sexual wellness. She has spent over two decades working and volunteering in social care and has been a media commentator about consent, pornography, feminism and sexual wellness since 2016.
