Summary
The conclusion serves three purposes. First, it provides a discussion of the book’s contributions to the different fields of scholarship with which it is in dialogue: the history of gender and sexuality, the history of medicine and public health, and the history of the state in Peru. Second, it considers in what ways this history can help us to reflect on current debates over prostitution in Peru. Finally, it considers that ways in which the history of prostitution in Peru can inform current debates over patriarchy and male sexual privilege.
