Description: "Chileans tried to regulate prostitution, essentially for reasons of public health. Only later did the government and private organizations attack the phenomenon for its exploitation of the sex worker. This innovative and well-researched study traces the spread of the sex industry and explains the origin and plight of its participants. Also discusses the state's involvement and the prostitutes' income, origins, and working conditions"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
