Summary "The History of Prostitution: Its Extent, Causes, and Effects throughout the World" by William W. Sanger, M.D. is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book examines the widespread phenomenon of prostitution, its historical contexts, and its social implications, specifically addressing the factors that contribute to its existence and persistence across societies. It offers an extensive analysis of prostitution from ancient times to modern practices, aiming to raise awareness about the issue and provoke discussion on potential solutions. At the start of the volume, Sanger outlines the gravity of prostitution as a societal plague, emphasizing its historical presence and the necessity of discussing it openly. He critiques the tendency of society to ignore the issue and its consequences, arguing for a need to understand its roots and impacts. The introduction sets the stage for his investigation, revealing his intention to delve into the origins, evolution, and regulation of prostitution throughout history. Sanger touches upon various civilizations, starting with ancient Jewish customs and legislation, indicating that prostitution has always been intertwined with societal norms and moral frameworks.
