Page 11: it is mentioned, in passing, that the young daughters of poor families were sometimes forced into sex work "having barely reached puberty." Page 48: mentioned within the context of women's marital rights during the Victorian era. It is observed that women would not be legally eligible to be granted a divorce if their husband had committed adultery, but only if he had committed adultery alongside another crime (one of the examples listed is rape). Pages 69-71: discussion of the sexual threat, exploitation and violence to which homeless women were often subjected during the Victorian era, including a number of examples. Page 72 includes a discussion of homeless women who chose to turn to sex work; although these women did not make this choice as a result of direct coercion, it was as a means of survival. Pages 169-170: discussion, in general terms, of the sexual liaisons which often occurred between women working as servants and their masters, colleagues or other individuals; it is mentioned that these liaisons were sometimes consensual and sometimes non-consensual. It is mentioned that these liaisons often resulted in unplanned pregnancies, the consequences of which women were often forced to bear on their own. Pages 171-174: discussion of laws enacted during the 1800s which required women suspected of engaging in sex work to submit to regular genital examinations, under the pretence of preventing the transmission of diseases. References to this process and its implications are made throughout the remainder of the chapter. Page 247: it is mentioned in passing that, during this time, it was largely seen as socially acceptable for a man to physically abuse his wife if she resisted his sexual advances. Page 312-316: there is an extended discussion of sex trafficking during the Victorian era. This discussion is not graphic in nature but elaborates on how women were often deceived into travelling abroad and then coerced into sex work.
