London, England (1888) |
| City of Sin |
"Welcome to Brotheldom"
" That's right, you can procure anything you want in this kingdom of the damned. Pick your depravity - whores, dollymops, bogus virgins, nighthouse tarts, catamites and even children. "

A comparison of London in 1888 with the Biblical city of Sodom, would be good way to begin - estimates tell of up to 80,000 prostitutes in the City of London alone, and many women had good reasons to turn to prostitution, a 'profession' where women and young girls braved the daily risk of a beating or even death in a desperate search to survive and supplement their meagre workhouse incomes.
