Motherhood mentioned in Parent-Duchatelet
Description
“One would have trouble believing that certain women had embraced the career of prostitution as a way to fulfill their duties that vie them their title as girl or mother, nothing however is truer. It is not rare to see married women, abandoned or deprived from their husbands, and consequently to support everything, become prostitutes in their own design to not their large family starve to death; it is more common still to find young girls, who, not able to find work to provide for the needs of their old and infirm parents working the night as prostitutes, to complete what is lacking.”
