Abstract
Using examples from the history of prostitution in Australia, this paper examines the way in which the Australian discourse on prostitution can be understood as part of a wider, international concern with 'the white slave traffic' and venereal disease. These case studies are used to introduce a broader discussion of developments in the historiography of prostitution.
