This chapter reviews some of the common social attitudes that have lead to the mobilisation of prostitutes. Perkins undertakes a history of the prostitutes' movement and discusses some of its shortcomings. Finally, she attempts to find a way of locating prostitutes' rights within the general women's movement.
