Prostitution has held a significant symbolic significance in shaping moral and sexual standards throughout history, and the figure of the prostitute has been a prominent archetype in the exploration of sex and the city. This book delves into the geographical aspects of female prostitution in Western societies, examining the nature of sex work sites and their impact on the lives of prostitutes and their clients. Rather than offering a mere static mapping of sex work, the book aims to shed light on the complex dynamics and struggles surrounding these public and private spaces. Prostitutes often resist the strategies of social and legal control aimed at regulating their working practices, highlighting the contested nature of these sites. By engaging with a range of contemporary debates in social, cultural, and gender geography, the book explores the importance of public and private spaces in the production and reproduction of gender, sex, and bodily identities.
