Product Description
Product Description
A series of sensational articles on child prostitution appearing in the Pall Mall gazette in 1885 produced such universal outrage that the age of consent was soon raised from 13 to 16 by act of parliament. This is the starting point for this insightful examination of the ideas and activities of feminists around issues of sex and morality up to the end of World War I.

Used this book as a resource for an essay on the restrictions placed on the movement of women in 19th century British Society. It was most informative. It talks about attitudes at the turn 19th century, to women being seen in public places unaccompanied by a male, and highlights the Victorian obsession with prostitution and contagious (venereal) diseases. It also focusses on the passing of the Contagious diseases Act (1797?) and the various debates that took place in Parliamentary committees prior to its passage.
