It uncovers the various experiences of women, whether mistresses, adulteresses, or those involved in the sex trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom renowned courtesans to downtrodden streetwalkers, Julie Peakman examines the multifaceted lives of these women within brothels, on stage, and even behind bars. Based on new research into court transcripts, asylum records, magazines, pamphlets, satires, songs, theatre plays, and erotica, we learn of the gruesome treatment of women who were sexually active outside of marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJulie Peakman looks at sex from women's points of view, undercutting the traditional image of the bawdy eighteenth century to expose a more sordid side, of women left distressed, ostracised, and vilified for their sexual behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849494647020,"sku":"9781789148473","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/28013773482824.jpg?v=1759047138","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/libertine-london-by-julie-peakman-9781789148473","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
