Abstract
The author examines the rhetoric of the Committee of Sixteen, an Anglophone Montreal anti-prostitution group of doctors, social reformers, religious authorities, business leaders and lawyers that existed from 1917 to 1926, and their beliefs as to why women entered into "the world's oldest profession."
