She was the owner of one of only two unique brothel licenses ever issued in her country at the time. Anna Carlström published her memoires in 1841. Early life Anna Carlström described her life in her memoirs, published in 1841, which may not give an altogether truthful picture: among other things, she claimed to have been the mother of 22 children.

Procuring (prostitution)
Procuring or pandering is the facilitation or provision of a prostitute or other sex worker in the arrangement of a sex act with a customer. A procurer, colloquially called a pimp (if male) or a madam (if female, though the term pimp has still extensively been used for female procurers as well) or a brothel keeper, is an agent for prostitutes who collects part of their earnings. The procurer may receive this money in return for advertising services, physical protection, or for providing and possibly monopolizing a location where the prostitute may solicit clients. Like prostitution, the legality of certain actions of a madam or a pimp vary from one region to the next. Examples of procuring include: * Trafficking a person into a country for the purpose of soliciting sex * Operating a business where prostitution occurs * Transporting a prostitute to the location of their arrangement * Deriving financial gain from the prostitution of another Etymology ''Procurer'' The term ...

London (brothel)
London and Stadt Hamburg were the names of two Swedish brothels in Gamla stan in Stockholm between 1838 and 1841. They were part of an attempt by the city authorities to establish state control over prostitution and sexually transmitted infection by brothels licensed and supported by the authorities. Background In 18th-century Stockholm, coffee houses established by women, financed by their previous upper class lovers, were often suspected by the police of being masked brothels, and the waitresses of pubs and bars were suspected prostitutes. These establishments were often raided by the police, who forced the female staff to be subject to physical examination to prevent the spread of sexual diseases: in 1812, a law was introduced which legalized this practice, allowing forced medical examination and treatment of anyone suspected of carrying a sexual disease.Svanström, Yvonne, Offentliga kvinnor: prostitution i Sverige 1812-1918 ublic Women: Prostitution in Sweden 1812-1918 Ordfron ...

The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the lar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
