Rather than treating prostitutes solely as victims or problems to be solved, as so often has been the case in much of the literature, Nancy M. Wingfield seeks to find the historical subjects behind fin-de-siecle constructions of prostitutes, to restore agency to the women who participated in commercial sex, illuminate their quotidian experiences, and to place these women, some of whom made a rational economic decision to sell their bodies, in the larger social context of late imperial Austria. Wingfield investigates the interactions of both registered and clandestine prostitutes with the vice police and other supervisory agents, including physicians and court officials, as well as with the inhabitants of these women's world, including brothel clients and madams, and pimps, rather than focusing top-down on the state-constructed apparatus of surveillance. Close reading of a broad range of primary and secondary sources shows that some prostitutes in late imperial Austria took control over their own fates, at least as much as other working-class women, in the last decades before the end of the Monarchy. And after 1918, bureaucratic transition did not necessarily parallel political transition. 650 0 $a Prostitution $z Austria $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Trials (Prostitution) $z Austria $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Prostitution $x History $z Austria $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sexually transmitted diseases $z Austria $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Austria $x History $y 1867-1918. 650 7 $a Prostitution. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079562 650 7 $a Prostitution $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01079567 650 7 $a Sexually transmitted diseases. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114952 650 7 $a Trials (Prostitution) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156392 651 7 $a Austria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204901 648 7 $a 1867-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=74DD6696580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
