‘Politics of Prostitution and Sexual Labour’ summons up the intellectual/political landscape of feminist historical thinking on prostitution in the early 1970s, when I began work on Victorian feminists and prostitutes. It assesses the key features of agreement among a generation of feminists working on this topic, and suggests how their interpretive framework has been refined and revised. It also expresses the need to imagine the prostitute as a more complex subject than feminist historians have previously made her. Finally, it relates this feminist historical work to the present political conjuncture.
