January 20, 2024The writing of 18th century sex workers with Alex Collinson Please note this episode was recorded in August 2023.
Today Iâm joined by Alexandra Collinson, a third year PhD student at Newcastle University studying eighteenth-century literature. Weâll be talking about her project, The Sex Workersâ Revolution: Prostitution and Feminism in Womenâs writing, 1787-1801, and more broadly about women, sex work, virtue and motherhood in eighteeth century England and Ireland.Â
Alexâs PhD project asserts that revolutionary feminists such as Marie-Madeleine Jodin and Mary Wollstonecraft, were not the only female writers to intervene in the patriarchal domain of late eighteenth-century politics. Her research shows that sex workers like Margaret Leeson and Ann Sheldon also made important contributions to feminist discourses on womenâs nature and social roles in memoirs and legal testimonies published throughout the period.
Alexâs other research interests include womenâs life writing, and representations of sexuality, maternity, and prostitution in eighteenth-century literature. Her PhD project is funded by a Arts and Humanities Research Council Northern Bridge Studentship.

...more March 03, 2023Update Hello! I thought I should post a quick update as my anchor app told me the other day that I had over 600 followers on Spotify who I had cruelly abandoned after 9 episodes. So, sorry about that! I am currently working on a new season of the podcast, it's taken me a lot longer to get going on it because ME/Chronic Fatigue Sydrome is an unruly beast and I'm learning to live with it's unpredictable whims. Fingers crossed as time goes on I'll get better at managing it.
Anyway thank you for hanging in there, I've got some super interesting episodes planned and some lovely guests joining me! You can keep up to date with the podcast by following my socials @AmorousHistories on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok, and @AmorousHistPod on Twitter. As ever transcripts and sources are on my website amoroushistories.co.uk.
I'm looking forward to continuing to share my love of sex, sexuality and gender history with you all!
Until next time, stay sexy!
