Foreword / Scarlet women on the early goldfields -- Of vice and men : foreign devils and Japanese flowers -- Containing the 'social evil' in Kalgoorlie -- Hay Street and the long arm of the law -- Business as usual : madams' stories -- Foreshadowing the end of an era -- The stormy demise of traditional containment -- The politics of new containment -- Scarlet women in the new millenium. Jann McFarlane -- Ch. 1. Ch. 2. Ch. 3. Ch. 4. Ch. 5. Ch. 6. Ch. 7. Ch. 8. Ch. 9.
While the 'scarlet women' of the gold-fields were vilified in print, they were welcomed with open arms by lonely men living in the tent cities of Kalgoorlie during the gold rush. This is a compelling social history of prostitution in Kalgoorlie, where the brothels and the police station have shared the same street for over a century.
