Expansion and the Logic of the Market --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --IndexThis book traces the social history of early modern Japan's sex trade, from its beginnings in seventeenth-century cities to its apotheosis in the nineteenth-century countryside. Drawing on legal codes, diaries, town registers, petitions, and criminal records, it describes how the work of "selling women" transformed communities across the archipelago. By focusing on the social implications of prostitutes' economic behavior, this study offers a new understanding of how and why women who work in the sex trade are marginalized. It also demonstrates how the patriarchal order of the early modern state was undermined by the emergence of the market economy, which changed the places of women in their households and the realm at large.Asia--local studies/global themes ;21.Prostitution, markets, and the household in early modern JapanProstitutionJapanHistoryProstitutesJapanSocial conditionsWomenSexual behaviorJapanHistorySexJapanHistory17th century japan.18th century japan.19th century japan.archipelago history.asian history.books for history lovers.discrimination of women.discussion books.early modern state japan.easy to read.engaging.feminisim and intersectionality.historical.japanese communities.japanese history.japanese women oppression.learning from experts.leisure reads.modern japan.nonfiction.page turner.patriarchal order.politics.sex trade.social history of japan.social history of women.woman struggle.ProstitutionHistory.ProstitutesSocial conditions.WomenSexual behaviorHistory.SexHistory.306.740952Stanley Amy1978-1484079MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790109803321Selling women3702611UNINA
