I wonder how some of them felt at the time? Remember how women’s lives were constrained. We should at least not accept uncritically any cutesifying of the historic sex trade.
Well yeah. Agency is important, but naive to suppose there weren't often pressures in play that effectively rendered the choices people made not really choices at all.
