Contributors discuss how sex workers navigated spatial and legal landscapes, examining evidence such as the location of Hooker's Division in Washington, D.C., and court records of prostitution-related crimes in Fargo, North Dakota. Broadening the discussion to include the roles of men in sex work, contributors write about the proprietor Tom Savage, the ways prostitution connected with ideas of masculinity, and alternative reasons men may have visited brothels, such as for treatment of venereal disease and impotence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration and including rarely investigated topics such as race, motherhood, and men, this volume deepens our understanding of the experiences of practitioners and consumers of the sex trade and shows how intersectionality affected the agency of many involved in the nation's historical vice districts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Ashley Baggett Carol A.
