The Idea of Prostitution

Sheila Jeffreys

4.9/5 (21245 ratings)

Description:There are (at least) two competing views on prostitution: first, that prostitution is a legitimate and acceptable form of employment, freely chosen by women, and second, that prostitution is a coercive form of degradation and the cause of harm. In The Idea of Prostitution Sheila Jeffreys explores these sharply contrasting views. She examines the changing concept of prostitution, from the "white slave traffic" of the nineteenth century to its present legal status. The book includes discussion of the varieties of prostitution, including the experience of male prostitutes, the uses of women in pornography, and the role of military brothels, as compared with slavery and marital rape. Sheila Jeffreys explodes the distinction between "forced" and "free" prostitution, and documents the expanding international traffic in women. The author examines the claims of the prostitutes' rights movement and the sex industry, while supporting prostituted women themselves.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
