ICYMI: Julia Laite, Common Prostitutes and Ordinary Citizens: Commercial Sex in London, 1885-1960 (2011) @JuliaLaite

Here ICYMI:  More from Julia Laite, Reader in Modern History, University of London:

Common Prostitutes and Ordinary Citizens: Commercial Sex in London, 1885-1960 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011). Here from the publisher's website is a description of the book's contents.


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.
