Berlin Coquette: Prostitution and the New German Woman, 1890-1933
ISBN: 9780801452673 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Combining... During the late nineteenth century the city of Berlin developed such a reputation for lawlessness and sexual licentiousness that it came to be know... |

Stolen is the true story of one survivor who escaped--more than once.

In recent years, Americans have woken up to the reality that human trafficking is not just something that happens in other countries. But what most still do not understand is that neither is it something that just happens to "other people" such as runaways or the disenfranchised. The human trafficker is no respecter of faith, education, or socioeconomic status, and even kids who are raised in solid families in middle and upper class suburbs can fall victim. Likewise, labor trafficking happens in our cities, neighborhoods, and rural areas. Through true stories and years of...

Rosenthal uses literary and historical sources to explore the meaning of prostitution from the Restoration through the eighteenth century, showing how both reformers and libertines constructed the modern meaning of sex work during this period.
