Description: Madams by Fergus Linnane Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An entertaining romp through the history of Londons brothels and the women who offered their services Publisher Description At a time when there were almost no career openings for women a group of intrepid and gifted females scaled the heights of what was literally a mans world - they became bawds. Mother Clap - women bawds were often known as Mother - ran male brothels, or Molly Houses. Elizabeth Holland had an immense moated mansion built on Bankside and for thirty years entertained the aristocracy, including royalty. When troops attempted to stop her trade and eject her from the house, she and her girls drove them off. The Georgian bawd Charlotte Hayes held a Cyprian Fete at which gentlemen of the highest breeding first watched athletic young men copulating with nubile whores and then joined in themselves. Fergus Linnane reveals the other side of Londons years of pomp and splendour, painting a vivid picture of the bawds, their girls and their clients. Madams is fresh and original, offering humour, insight and a very candid view of the sexual behaviour of Londoners through the ages. Author Biography Fergus Linnaneis an historian who has written widely on social history, including Drinking for England, The Encyclopedia of London Crime, The Lives of the English Rakes, London: The Wicked City, and Londons Underworld."
