Prostitution in Colorado, 1860-1930
This paper contains a book review of Brothels, Bordellos, & Bad Girls: Prostitution in Colorado 1860-1930 by Jan MacKell. The review answers several important question about the book. First, it looks at MacKell's argument about prostitutes, which is that they were not inherently bad women. Second, it examines details about women working as prostitutes in Colorado during the Gold Rush. It examines the social and legal changes that led MacKell to end her coverage in 1930. Finally, the paper investigates how historic discussion of prostitutes informs modern investigations of sex workers.
