About This Book

A translated selection analyzes the regulation system governing prostitution, arguing that poverty, ignorance, seduction, and administrative practices force many vulnerable women into and keep them in prostitution. Inspectors' testimony and case studies describe widespread destitution, limited education, abandoned mothers, and the exploitation of children in industrial towns. The work critiques municipal and police responses that stigmatize women while tolerating male privilege, and it documents how regulated houses and registration perpetuate social exclusion. Proposed remedies include legal sanctions for seduction, measures to raise women's wages and independence, impartial policing of clients and keepers, and the rejection of policies that treat women as inherently impure.
