{"product_id":"selling-women-21-amy-stanley-9780520270909","title":"Selling Women: Prostitution, Markets, and the Household in Early Modern Japan Volume 21","description":"This book traces the social history of early modern Japan's sex trade, from its beginnings in seventeenth-century cities to its apotheosis in the nineteenth-century countryside. Drawing on legal codes, diaries, town registers, petitions, and criminal records, it describes how the work of \"selling women\" transformed communities across the archipelago. By focusing on the social implications of prostitutes' economic behavior, this study offers a new understanding of how and why women who work in the sex trade are marginalized. It also demonstrates how the patriarchal order of the early modern state was undermined by the emergence of the market economy, which changed the places of women in their households and the realm at large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Stanley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520270908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520270909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2013","brand":"Amy Stanley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43919950283007,"sku":"9780520270909","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b7da337d-fd83-4713-ac2e-c74f828b7775.jpg?v=1680812810","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selling-women-21-amy-stanley-9780520270909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
