Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a significant historical debate surrounding the Contagious Diseases Acts of the 19th century in Britain. These Acts, aimed at controlling venereal disease in the military, ignited controversy due to their focus on the examination and detention of women suspected of prostitution. The author meticulously examines the arguments both for and against these Acts. One side advocated for their necessity in safeguarding the health and efficiency of the armed forces, highlighting the severity of venereal disease and the Acts' perceived effectiveness in reducing its prevalence. Opponents, however, raised moral and constitutional objections, contending that the Acts unfairly targeted women, violated individual liberties, and potentially increased clandestine prostitution. Through a comprehensive analysis of medical reports, parliamentary inquiries, and diverse perspectives on the issue, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between public health concerns, moral anxieties, and evolving social norms in Victorian Britain. The author's exploration of this historical controversy offers valuable insights into the ongoing challenges of balancing individual rights with public health imperatives, particularly concerning issues of sexual health and gender equality.
