Focusing on Huli "passenger women," (women who accept money for sex) Wayward Women explores the socio-economic factors that push women into the practice of transactional sex, and asks how these transactions might be an expression of resistance, or even revenge. Challenging conventional understandings of "prostitution" and "sex work," Holly Wardlow contextualizes the actions and intentions of passenger women in a rich analysis of kinship, bridewealth, marriage, and exchange, revealing the ways in which these robust social institutions are transformed by an encompassing capitalist economy. Many passenger women assert that they have been treated "olsem maket" (like market goods) by their husbands and natal kin, and they respond by fleeing home and defiantly appropriating their sexuality for their own purposes. Experiences of rape, violence, and the failure of kin to redress such wrongs figure prominently in their own stories about becoming "wayward." Drawing on village court cases, hospital records, and women's own raw, caustic , and darkly funny narratives, Wayward Women provides a riveting portrait of the way modernity engages with gender to produce new and contested subjectivities. 606 $aWomen, Huli$xSexual behavior$zPapua New Guinea$zTari District 606 $aWomen, Huli$zPapua New Guinea$zTari District$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen, Huli$zPapua New Guinea$zTari District$xEconomic conditions 606 $aBride price$zPapua New Guinea$zTari District 606 $aCourtship$zPapua New Guinea$zTari District 607 $aTari District (Papua New Guinea)$xSocial conditions 607 $aTari District (Papua New Guinea)$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen, Huli$xSexual behavior 615 0$aWomen, Huli$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen, Huli$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aBride price 615 0$aCourtship 676 $a305.409956/1 700 $aWardlow$b Holly$0896904 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450139303321 996 $aWayward women$92476687 997 $aUNINA
