The Historical Encyclopedia of Prostitution is a reference work about
prostitution past and present, both worldwide (mostly in the West) and
in the United States to be published by Greenwood Press. With
approximately 600 entries on health, cultural issues, migration, boom
towns, legislation, technology, literature, movies, and more, this
three-volume encyclopedia promises to be a foremost resource devoted to
this high-interest yet sensitive topic.

Entries related to history which remain unassigned include:

    * 1959 Street Offenses Act (UK)
    * Adler, Polly
    * Alcohol
    * Aquinas
    * Atlanta
    * Automobiles
    * Brady, "Diamond" Jim
    * Chicago
    * Clothing
    * Coming of Age
    * Comstock, Anthony
    * Contagious Diseases Act
    * Contraception

    * Goldman, Emma
    * Gwynn, Nell
    * Hoover, J. Edgar
    * Indecent Exposure Laws
    * Institutionalization of Sex Workers
    * Kimball, Nell
    * Magdalene Homes
    * Masoch, Leopold von Sacher

    * Revenue Stamps
