Common Women: Prostitution and Sexuality in Medieval England | Ruth Mazo Karras

2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read

Through a sensitive use of a wide variety of imaginative and didactic texts, Ruth Karras shows that while prostitutes as individuals were marginalized within medieval culture, prostitution as an institution was central to the medieval understanding of what it meant to be a woman. This important work will be of interest to scholars and students of history, women's studies, and the history of sexuality.

It was the presence of whores that was held to disrupt the social order, even though it was men who created the demand and who committed most of the crimes with which the authorities tended to associate prostitution.
