Mujeres itinerantes: viajes por el territorio y prostitución en la provincia de Buenos Aires

Abstract

This work analyses the practices and meanings of the territorial circulation of itinerant women who practiced prostitution in the province of Buenos Aires in the first decades of the 20th century. Based on the follow-up of multiple trajectories that converge in brothels and the reconstruction of the routes that they plied, this text argues that mobility was part of women’s survival strategies, while it also being essential for the functioning of the regulated sex work market in the province.
