The Geography of Prostitution in an Early Nineteenth-Century Urban Centre: Montreal, 1810-1842
|
| Abstract |
The author argues that prostitution was integrated into all nineteenth century Montreal neighbourhoods, touching all social classes, from the elites who worked and lived along Notre Dame and St. Paul Streets to the popular classes who inhabited the suburbs. She claims that Montrealers shared the same streets, public spaces, and houses with sex trade workers who were often tolerated until the inmates of local brothels and streetwalkers breached some sort of community enforced code of conduct.
