The Devil's Chain is the first book to examine the world of commercial sex throughout the partitioned Polish territories, uncovering a previously hidden conversation about sexuality, gender propriety, and social class. Keely Stauter-Halsted situates the preoccupation with prostitution in the context of Poland's struggle for political independence and its difficult transition to modernity. She traces the Poles' growing anxiety about white slavery, venereal disease, and eugenics by examining the regulation of the female body, the rise of medical authority, and the role of social reformers in addressing the problem of paid sex. Stauter-Halsted argues that the sale of sex was positioned at the juncture of mass and elite cultures, affecting nearly every aspect of urban life and bringing together sharply divergent social classes in what had long been a radically stratified society. She captures the experiences of the impoverished women who turned to the streets and draws a vivid picture of the social milieu that shaped their choices. The Devil's Chain demonstrates that discussions of prostitution and its attendant disorders-sexual deviancy, alcoholism, child abuse, vagrancy, and other related problems-reflected differing visions for the future of the Polish nation. 606 $aProstitution$zPoland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aProstitution$zPoland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSex$xSocial aspects$zPoland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSex$xSocial aspects$zPoland$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aPoland$xHistory$y1864-1918 615 0$aProstitution$xHistory 615 0$aProstitution$xHistory 615 0$aSex$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSex$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a306.7409438 700 $aStauter-Halsted$b Keely$f1960-$01016549 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797871403321 996 $aThe devil's chain$93720199 997 $aUNINA
