WHY VICTORIAN WOMEN BECAME PROSTITUTES Poor social conditions for many women in the Victorian
period caused many young teenagers and women to turn towards prostitution
as a means of survival. Research on prostitution expanded and developed
throughout the nineteenth century. Dr. William Sanger, one of the foremost
researchers on prostitution during this period, is still highly esteemed
due to his work's accuracy and depth. Sanger examined the identity of
the average prostitute and sought to understand why prostitutes became
prostitutes. He found that the majority of prostitutes were in their late
teens or early twenties and were usually illiterate, poor, and from broken
families.
