This is an examination, from a feminist historian's standpoint, of
the background to the present system of regulating prostitution in
Britain - which is generally admitted to be not only unjust and
discriminatory, but ineffective even in achieving its stated aims.
Concentrating on the 1950s, and especially on the Wolfenden Report
and the 1959 Street Offences Act, it is a thorough exposure of the
sexual double standard and general misogynist assumptions
underlying legislation relating to prostitution. In addition to the
detailed analysis of the 1950s legislation and the background to
it, there is an exposition of the subsequent workings of the Act,
and of attempts to amend or repeal it.
