Beskrivning

Tucked away in Dublin's north inner city, Monto made headlines for wild tales of debauchery. However, what happened to the women and girls within its brothels in life and death is less well known. Weaving together oral histories, historical records and family memories, Caroline West delivers an investigation into the heartbreaking treatment of the women that worked there, while delving into the impact of class, sexual violence and British colonialism on the women's survival.
