Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the lives of prostitutes in medieval England, this work delves into their motivations for entering the trade, ranging from economic hardship to personal trauma. It examines their varied experiences as street-walkers and brothel workers, and the diverse clientele they served, including apprentices, priests, and wealthy merchants. Ruth Karras highlights the paradox of individual marginalization versus the institution's significance in shaping societal views on womanhood, making this a vital resource for those studying history, women's studies, and sexuality.
