The Politics of Prostitution
The most effective way to deal with prostitution has always been hotly debated by governments and women s movements alike. Feminists want it abolished or regulated as sex work; governments have to safeguard public health and order. This book shows how women s movements in Western Europe, North America and Australia have affected politics on prostitution and trafficking of women since the 1970s, asking what made them successful in some countries but a failure in others. It also assesses whether government institutions to advance the status of women - so-called women s policy agencies - have played a key role in achieving policy outcomes favourable to movement demands. Written by an international team of experts and based on original sources, all chapters follow the same framework to ensure comparability. The final chapter offers an overall comparison identifying what makes women s movements successful and women s agencies effective, presenting the case for state feminism .

Ze ontleent onvermoede trots aan een gerucht over een voorname afkomst en een misgelopen erfenis. Maar is dat mythe, of werkelijkheid? Op zoek naar de feiten stuit haar kleindochter, de auteur, op een verborgen stuk Nederlandse geschiedenis: haar voorouders blijken te zijn blootgesteld aan een uniek heropvoedingsexperiment in de Drentse nederzetting Veenhuizen. In drie enorme kazernes werden daar vanaf 1823 tienduizenden arme stadsgezinnen door tucht en landarbeid gedrild tot nuttige burgers. Maar wat begon als een bevlogen ...
