This affects the young male readers as it allows masculinity to define one’s work ethic, wages, and profession. By including these testaments, a reader is inclined to embody honesty and industrious qualities to become this “successful professional man” and to raise their own socioeconomic position to meet this idealized form of masculinity. However, a counterpoint to this example is found in the article “Effects of Wealth on Morals” which is included in The Contributor, a literary magazine designated for young men.…

The question being: what the “prostitutes” lives were like at home, in the streets, or in society during the Contagious Diseases Acts.

Firstly, they go through what the Contagious Diseases Acts are and how/why they were put into circulation, at first only in military bases, mainly due to the large number of venereal diseases in unmarried sailors and soldiers who were stationed in areas in Ireland and England, and then to larger cities where diseases were rampant. The authors show the way that these acts blamed and only affected the lower class women in the areas and try to show that not all of these women were common degenerate prostitutes but, instead, poor working women trying to survive when there are limited job opportunities that provide unsustainable wages.…
