Common Prostitutes and Ordinary Citizens (eBook, PDF)

Commercial Sex in London, 1885-1960

Beschreibung

Between 1885 and 1960, laws and policies designed to repress prostitution dramatically shaped London's commercial sex industry. This book examines how laws translated into street-level reality, explores how women who sold sex experienced criminalization, and charts the complex dimensions of the underground sexual economy in the modern metropolis.
