Ejercicio y control de la prostitución en la Galicia urbana del primer tercio del siglo XX

Abstract

As a topic dealt with by Social History, prostitution has been approached in two ways: first, as an «relatively healthy approuch»; but at the same time it has been emphasised that there is still much to know about. The results of historical research on prostitution in Galicia have been relatively scarce, and have not gone beyond the local level. Though this article doesn't intend to cover for the whole urban sector of Galicia, it attempts at developping a systematic comparision between two towns (Vigo and Santiago), where prostitution took deep roots amidst very social environments.
