This is the only such book to be attempted in Australia. It covers
over 200 years of history, and includes discussion of sexual
exchange in Australia prior to European colonisation. It is
relevant to the whole of Australia as well as having a strong
international dimension: the content is based on extensive research
from archives in all Australian capital cities as well as London
and Geneva and draws on oral interviews with women over a period of
more than 25 years. It makes extensive use of narratives,
individual life stories and the 'voices' of prostitutes to
construct an engaging, accessible text.""Selling Sex"" provides the
first comprehensive history of prostitution in Australia from
before European colonisation to the present, and situates this
history within an international context of labour migration and
policy formation. It draws on extensive archival research and
interviews to chart the ways in which prostitution contributed not
just to women's economic survival but also to broader processes of
colonisation and nation-building.
