Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive critique of the Contagious Diseases Acts of the Victorian era, revealing their far-reaching effects on the lives of women. The author argues that the Acts, intended to control sexually transmitted diseases among military personnel, were based on the erroneous belief that female promiscuity was a major cause of the spread of disease. The author meticulously examines the Acts' implementation and social consequences, exposing the injustices and moral failures that resulted from the system of forced examinations and registration of women as prostitutes. Drawing on extensive evidence from medical professionals, clergymen, social workers, and women's rights advocates, the book presents a powerful indictment of these laws, arguing that they ultimately exacerbated the very problems they purported to solve and undermined the moral foundations of society.
