Issue: 2
Pages: 226-246
The article looks at the missionary reports of the New York Female Moral Reform Society (FMRS), with a particular focus on the group's missionary activities in brothels during the early 19th century. Details on missionaries' conceptions of gender roles and on themes of seduction and abandonment in the reports are presented. It is suggested that many brothel workers did not conform to missionaries' gendered expectations regarding agency and sexuality.
