Hello, and welcome to Sleepy Histories. When many think of the Victorian brothel, they imagine a world of crimson velvet curtains, the soft pop of champagne corks, and the romanticized figure of the 'soiled dove'—a woman of tragic, high-society elegance living in a lavish mahogany-paneled parlor. But the real life of a Victorian brothel worker was a far more harrowing intersection of rigid class hierarchies and domestic labor. Often, these women were former domestic servants who had been stripped of their 'character' and their belongings by vengeful employers, left with no safety net in a city that valued their labor but denied their humanity. So tonight, we will leave the legends behind and see what it was really like. We will explore the caustic scent of lye and coal ash, the clinical cold of the speculum in forced medical exams, and the high-stakes economy of 'flash houses' versus the desperate reality of the 'Dolly Mops.' But first, please like and subscribe to Sleepy Histories, and share your location and local time in the comments below.
