Klaasje was a very pure girl. At later age, after a chain of events, she ends up in the bawdy house owned by Prostitutes Beek keeper Madame Mont-Athos. This was beyond the fault of Prostitutes Beek. Fortunately, she was rescued by one of her three foster fathers, who visited the brothel. Just before she was forced to have sex with a customer for the first time. Nevertheless, innocent Klaasje dies young of a heart illness. The reason she had to die was, according to Van Lennep himself, that although Prostitutes Beek was a harmless girl by nature, the disgrace of having stayed in a brothel is simply ineradicable.

Regardless the fact her stay was beyond her will, and Prostitutes Beek the fact she had not had sex with a man Peters Prostitutes Beek near-fundamentalistic warning of Van Lennep for everyone to stay away from sex workers as far as possible. Not for nothing it was the prudish Victorian era. A time even chair legs were covered to prevent sinful thoughts would arise with ladies.

Thrilling and red cheeks!

Smart thinking Prostitutes Beek Lennep. Smart thinking… Be reminded, earlier in this post we discussed a very similar deadly warning concerning visits to brothels, given in the novel Helmut Harringa written by Popert in There was also serious criticism concerning the mental limitations of Van Lennep, including from a Frisian feminist. She was Sietske Cornelisdr. The ideas of Van Lennep fit the Calvinistic dogmas Prostitutes Beek the time.

Catholicism, on the other hand, believes redemption of prostitutes is possible, instead of harsh punishment Prostitutes Beek committing sins.

The heroines.

Who does Prostitutes Beek know the story of Mary Magdalene, the supposedly fallen woman who became a repentant sinner, albeit the Bible does not state that Mary Magdalene actually was a whore. She did kiss Jesus on his cheek, though, which is as everyone knows practically the same.

What is more, the Prostitutes Beek Church even has a dedicated monastic order for fallen women, the Order of Saint Mary Magdalene. Already for eight centuries.

The front of his house Prostitutes Beek a smithy And the back a brothel. The fun is over. After nondescript johns, hilarious prudish writers, eye-catching Prostitutes Beek and golden bottoms, drunken professors, and pooping burgomasters, it is about time to delve into the hard lives of countless brave women who lived on the southern shores of the North Sea. As said, we will focus on the late medieval and early modern periods. Things went completely and utterly wrong in Paradise, a very long time ago.

Nobody knows how long ago exactly. Eve ate the forbidden fruit because the Devil told her Prostitutes Beek. It is from then on, women are carrying the original sin. In Prostitutes Beek Middle Ages, Christendom was a religion of piety, Prostitutes Beek and devotion, and sinful women were regarded a necessary evil. Needed for the reproduction of mankind.

At the same time, men were not allowed to spill any of their seed either. In other words, sexuality was completely defined by religion, and the only acceptable excuse to have sex was reproduction Altink Bawdy women, meaning women who behaved indecent, and thus Prostitutes Beek perse prostituting themselves for money, had to be brought back onto the path of righteousness.

Suffering on Sullivant

Thus, the souls of prostitutes burned deeper in Hell. Yes, at this very moment, the soul of Jack the Ripper sits at Prostitutes Beek more comfortable, cooler place in Hell than the souls of the women he brutally slaughtered.

How is that for justice? Punishment of a prostitute consisted of cutting off noses and ears, or burying women alive. One relativization is in order, though, namely that in practice it seems Prostitutes Beek sentences were carried out only incidentally. Many were acquitted, especially if they were young and they were first-time offenders Vos In the course of the Middles Ages, Europe underwent a process of urbanization.

Towns grew and real cities emerged. Attracting people from everywhere. It is then for the first time that prostitutes started to appear near markets, mills, shops, churches, smithies and so forth. At the end of the Middle Ages, prostitution was being regulated by the church and town administrations.

A necessary evil, according to the church VosDussen A concept of thinking that remained well into the seventeenth century. Prostitutes Beek, not any Prostitutes Beek. Notwithstanding the fact prostitution was being regulated, prostitutes were considered disturbing elements in society. Therefore, they could only Prostitutes Beek and conduct their business in designated areas in the outskirts of town, or even outside the city walls. To ensure a clear separation between honourable and non-honourable people De GraeveMuyres Signboards with green images of exotic birds informed the visitor it was a door of a whorehouse he was knocking on.

Often whores were obliged to wear a distinctive feature on their cloths, like a red ribbon for example. Furthermore, whores were not allowed to have a steady or regular customer. Moreover, they could only render their services to unmarried Christians. Having sex with a Jew was forbidden. Jews, by the way, were not allowed to touch fruit and bread either. Neither were prostitutes allowed to work on holy days. Lastly, there was supervision of their food, and of tariffs whores charged for their services.

Prices Prostitutes Beek sex should not become too high if Prostitutes Beek was to stay effective in preventing greater evils. In towns where brothels were placed outside the walls, small fortresses developed.

Outside the city walls brothels were vulnerable for plunderers and roaming armies in times of war, and therefore these brothels turned into fortified houses with sometimes even Prostitutes Beek own drawbridge. A whore is a woman who is ready and willing for the indecent desires of many men.

Also, designated houses were created by town authorities, where deernenor Dirnen in modern German language, were obliged to work, i. Each day, the bawdy women had to Prostitutes Beek a certain amount of wool. The first spinhuis of Amsterdam was founded in with the purpose of re-education Prostitutes Beek women.

In the seventeenth century, spinhuizen had developed into prisons. Spinhuizen were open to the public; during Prostitutes Beek peeking at dishonourable women.

A visit Prostitutes Beek one of the spinhuizen was a standard item on the itinerary of the many tourists visiting Amsterdam Van Prostitutes Beek Pol For Profit! Conceptions about sexuality and women in the late medieval period, also had as consequence women were vulnerable for being assaulted. If a woman displayed free and inappropriate behaviour, Prostitutes Beek could become a target for assault and rape. She would not only be a victim physically and mentally, but also be powerless to defend or restore her honour afterwards.

This had far-reaching consequences. Once without honour she would not stand a chance anymore to get a respectable job. Further below we will elaborate on the concept of honour. If rape had Prostitutes Beek to a woman, prostitution was therefore one of the few options left to earn money for survival. Indeed, to prevent a greater evil. Whores as decoys. Other options sexually assaulted women had to survive, was to emigrate to one of the colonies of the VOC, like the New Netherland colony in America, or choosing the path of criminality.

Fifty percent of criminality in Amsterdam was committed by women. A remarkable woman who perhaps emigrated because of such reasons, was Grietje Reyniers She was the wife of Anthony Jansen, or Jansz. Some say he was a son of a pirate. Here she started a tavern and she Prostitutes Beek prostituted herself.

There were complaints filed at the town council about her offensive behaviour. Another testimony about Grietje concerns when she had given birth to a child. The Prostitutes Beek answered:. In the yearGrietje and The Turk were expelled from New Amsterdam, and again it was time for them to move on in life. They settled on Long Island Waterfront and began farming. Also Maria Goosen was banned, in this case from the town of Beverwijck what is modern Albany.

The reason for her being expelled, was because she had been selling booze to an Indian woman, which was prohibited Lucas Later in the nineteenth century, the name was written as Corlears Hook, and was a vice and Prostitutes Beek area next to the Prostitutes Beek, ferry terminals, iron works and coal dumps in Lower East Side New York, including many brothels and streetwalkers.

Indeed, hookers. The hook, as commonly abbreviated, was a wild area known to sailors all over the world. Find more information about the New Netherland colony in our post History is written by the Victors — a history of Prostitutes Beek credits. Before we continue, it is important to highlight two aspects of early modern society, in order to understand the social position of women in this region better. The first is the concept of honour Prostitutes Beek we touched upon already.

Putting it bluntly, any person without honour had a value of no more than that of a hog or a dog. The second aspect is the degree of equality or inequality of women when Prostitutes Beek to men. Honour in the early modern period, but also during many centuries before, was vital.

If Prostitutes Beek man had no honour, Prostitutes Beek had no known good reputation and no creditworthiness either. Therefore, he would not get any financial credit. Neither would proper jobs and official positions be available for him. This mechanism is understandable. Reputation in a world without our modern regulating and registration institutions was all one had. Even today, Prostitutes Beek and integrity is still modestly relevant in Western society, but in no way as strong as a few centuries ago.

Today, you can sue someone for slander and libel at court, but it does not happen much and offers little compensation. Back in the early modern period, honour was of vital importance, and had to be defended at all costs, and increased as much as possible.

Bankruptcy or fraud, for example, was considered shameful and meant you lost much of your honour. When bankrupt, a man Prostitutes Beek to lay down all his public and church functions. The concept of honour was even physical. The best thing to do with dirty cash, was to give it as alms to the poor.

Contrary to southern Europe, women in north-western Europe had their own, independent honour to nourish and defend. The difference was, if a man lost his honour in for example France or Italy, his wife would lose hers as well. This was not the case in north-western Europe De Graeve If a man lost his honour, his wife still had her own honour unaffected. And vice versa. By the way, women dressing up as men, was not being considered dishonourable.

Keep it in mind, we will come back to this social phenomenon of cross-dressing Prostitutes Beek travesty in the Prostitutes Beek century. So, not all jobs were honourable. In fact, for women only a limited number of honourable jobs Prostitutes Beek available. Jobs that paid little and were often seasonable too. For women of the lower class, it was therefore difficult Prostitutes Beek make a living throughout the year. Whilst some dishonourable jobs paid better, sometime as much as a man.

Concerning the remarkable job description zielenverkoper we will say more about it further below. Concerning the social position of women in early-modern society, the first relevant notion is that women had lesser access to the labour Prostitutes Beek than men. Honourable jobs for Prostitutes Beek women were basically limited to garment trade, textile industry, Prostitutes Beek services, Prostitutes Beek domestic service, i.

The second notion is Prostitutes Beek wages of women were half that of men. Minimum wage for a man amounted around 3 guilders per week. A prostitute earned about 6 guilders, and had to pay the madam about half her earnings. A third notion is that women in north-western Europe married Prostitutes Beek at older age, on average when they were between 25 and 30 years old De Graeve This meant women had to take care for themselves longer and did not move straight from her Prostitutes Beek family into that of her husband.

In other words, in the southern parts of Europe the marriage age was much younger. Furthermore, the way men regarded women was being inferior. We said much about Prostitutes Beek already. Hence, women were often portrayed as dangerous, deceitful, bawdy temptresses. The underlying notion was that women were the perpetrators and men their victims De Graeve When the lady smiles, a man cannot resist her call Hay Prostitutes Beek, it is just one example of how women were being perceived and thus seriously discriminated.

To be complete, also men could be ledigh but, surprise surprise, in general their sin for being idle was considered less dangerous than women being idle. The paradox is, women of the wider North Sea region were Prostitutes Beek more independent and assertive when compared Prostitutes Beek other areas of Europe, but at the same time more vulnerable too.

Economically, they had to take care of themselves for a long er time, when meanwhile they had limited access to Prostitutes Beek labour market, and on top Prostitutes Beek that their wages were significantly lower than that of men. Longer not being married made Prostitutes Beek vulnerable too, of course. If this was combined with a pretty appearance of girl of the lower class, risk of being lured into prostitution was higher. Lastly, as explained, in north-western Europe women possessed honour themselves, but had to defend this themselves too.

At the Prostitutes Beek time, moral codes about what behaviour was honourable and what not, made women vulnerable for sexual assault. The conclusion therefore is, freedom is fragile, and liberties bring limitations, as they always do. In the yearan outbreak of the sexual Prostitutes Beek disease syphilis happened. It had epidemic proportions and prostitution was one of the outbreaks. It brought a new fear of sex and hatred towards prostitutes. Van de Pol Not long after, the Protestant belief and doctrine would Prostitutes Beek over big parts of Europe.

With the arrival of Protestantism at the wider North Sea region, the position towards Prostitutes Beek changed as well, and not to the benefit. It meant an end to the leniency of the Catholic Church towards prostitution.

Prostitutes Beek to the Protestant Church, a sinner could not be forgiven but Prostitutes Beek be punished for his faults. This in combination with the fact Prostitutes Beek chastity of both men and women became of paramount importance Van de PolDussen Two years later after the Alteratie especially facilitators of prostitution were criminalized.

The change of policy meant bailiffs no longer supervised brothels and prostitutes. Imagine, to compensate the bailiffs for the loss of their income, some city councils raised Prostitutes Beek salary De Wildt More and more brothels were shut down in the second half of the sixteenth century. Consequently, prostitution went underground and spread over town in discrete houses.

The former clear, Prostitutes Beek distinction between honourable and non-honourable people, both in dress codes as in spatial separation, disappeared from daily street life. With the emergence of Protestantism, women were being regarded as lacy, hypocritical, inborn horniness, and susceptible for the Devil.

Prostitutes Beek other words, women could turn into a harlot in a split second, so never you could let your guard down. However, banning prostitution in the Dutch Republic soon turned out to be impossible. Especially, in the city of Amsterdam. But also, urbanization of province Holland and West-Friesland was too strong to maintain a strict policy concerning prostitution. Massive influx of trade, merchants, sailors, soldiers, immigrants, tourists etc, Prostitutes Beek a huge labour market for prostitution.

Do not forget, Amsterdam was, behind London and Paris, the third biggest city of Europe and one of the most dynamic in the world. During the Dutch Republic, Amsterdam had just as many whores as the other two cities, at least according to contemporaries Van de Pol Estimations are Amsterdam counted about whores on a population ofat Prostitutes Beek end of the seventeenth century, a population of which the majority was female.

Of the foreign whores, most originated from Prostitutes Beek areas of northern Germany De Graeve Dominating the European charts, it is justified to say prostitution in Prostitutes Beek was endemic.

Nicholas lived between AD and Furthermore, faithful Saint Nicholas is, among others, the Catholic patron of sailors and fishermen. His family were namely wealthy fishermen. This date traditionally marked the end of the sailing season for Frisian seafarers. Less well-known is that Sint Nicholas is also the patron of unmarried women, virgins, and prostitutes.

Legend has it that once upon a time there were three sisters who wanted to get married but who were too poor to save enough money for their dowries. Their poverty and despair Prostitutes Beek about to lead them into prostitution. Now Prostitutes Beek enters the scene. For three nights he Prostitutes Beek throws a purse full of money through the window.

For every girl a purse. Prostitutes Beek the third night, however, he gets caught but instructs the young women not to tell anyone Shore Now you know why giving chocolate money is part of the tradition of Sinterklaas to this day. Faithful Saint Nicholas, you might say, is the embodiment of the theme of this post, namely sailors and the sea, women and prostitution.

Unfortunately, miracle worker Saint Nicholas was not able to prevent all poor and unmarried women from prostituting themselves, recognizing of course that poverty is but one of the reasons for women to become a sex worker. And Prostitutes Beek money made of chocolate, does not help either. The flipside is, because of his shortcomings as a Prostitutes Beek of unmarried poor women, Prostitutes Beek could write this post.

Offering a peek into, Prostitutes Beek our opinion, a remarkable history. At the beginning, in the sixteenth century, prostitution was still predominantly a personal affair of women prostituting themselves. Officially, with the arrival of Protestantism brothels were closed. Whoring encompassed all forms of sex outside marriage, and no difference was made between paid and unpaid sex. It was all named whoring.

The many faces of sex work

Prostitution, as a paid sex service, continued Prostitutes Beek find its way on the streets and via disreputable taverns where whores first of all stimulated Prostitutes Beek to drink and eat as much as possible, and to be treated with drinks and food as Prostitutes Beek. A percentage of these earning was paid out to the women. Whores pretended to drink along with the costumer, but secretly threw their drinks offered onto the floor. Floors of these taverns were covered with sand to absorb the purposely spilled wine and Prostitutes Beek, so the guest would not notice.

Of course, if a guest wanted to have sex and still was not too drunk to be up for it, the girl would take the man to her room.

Perhaps by then he was so drunk, she could suffice with only a hand job. Anyhow, by then he better had enough ready cash on him. Although prostitution was prohibited from the Prostitutes Beek of the sixteenth century, soon it became clear the authorities were fighting a losing battle.

Halls; where music was played by Prostitutes Beek small ensemble and where people came dancing and drinking. An ensemble of a more upmarket place consisted of a harpsichord, violin, and bas. Simpler places only offered a violin player.

Besides music and dancing, you could find prostitutes too. A prostitute would take her client to a whorehouse, since at speelhuizen no, or few rooms were available.

Speelhuizen were a real attraction for tourists. Due to the fact a visit to these houses was not considered dishonourable, speelhuizen enjoyed much popularity. Only later whores were Prostitutes Beek to these feasts. It had many reprints. The writer remained anonymous.

The story is about the Devil, known as myn Leidsman my leadsmanthat appears in a dream of the main character, and shows him all the bad inns, brothels, houses of prostitution, and music halls of Amsterdam. Something the main character only heard about during his travels, ahum. The book describes everything very realistic and in great detail, and therefore is Prostitutes Beek very informative Prostitutes Beek much quoted source of historians.

Back then, it was especially a great source for tourists visiting the infamous city, and not ao much for historians. In one of the taverns the main character and his Leidsman visit, they observe the innkeeper promoting his red wine and whores to two guests. The way Prostitutes Beek innkeeper advertised his red wine, and implicitly his whores, was as follows:. The two Frisians immediately ordered two extra cups of wine for the whores.

In one of the dialogues between the Devil and the main character, an explanation is given why prostitution cannot and should not be banned:.

De weereld, antwoordde mij Leidsman, is met de Bybel in de hand niet te regeeren, andere fteden, daar men geen hoeren gedoogen wil, hebben fulk een toeloop van Vreemdelingen en van Vaarens-gezellen niet […] die zich dagelycks, als fe aan de wal zyn, zat en vol zuipen Prostitutes Beek die al foo rouw en onbuigfaam zyn [. Well, would it not be better, I asked, if they were banned al together, like they do in other cities? By this Prostitutes Beek mean prostitution had become a specialized branch, and almost Prostitutes Beek managed by women as well.

They were procuresses, brothel keepers, whore madams or bawds. It is also from this time that prostitution and fornication were being distinguished as separate things. As said, till then all forms of sex outside marriage and other indecent behaviour fell under the umbrella term of whoring. Prostitutes, often no more than two, lived in a whorehouse owned by a madam.

Here the prostitute received her clients, and the brothel Prostitutes Beek also provided safety. Prostitutes Beek 80 percent of all whorehouses was run by women. Until the second half of the eighteenth century, these houses continued to be primarily small enterprises. The eighteenth century was a Prostitutes Beek period for prostitutes too.

There was more poverty and men were getting involved in the prostitution branch and incomes their decreased Van de Pol So, cruising-whores. Streets where these hookers operated during the night were named kruisbaan. Their services were provided in porches, parks, and alleys. High-end courtesans, another form of prostitution in the early modern period, were scarce. The only place in the Dutch Republic where these high-end prostitutes had a market, Prostitutes Beek in The Hague because of the presence of the international diplomatic corps Van de Pol The rest of the Republic was a civilian society with only a modest court life.

The closest thing to a royal court were the small palaces of stadtholders of the House of Orange. Margaretha Geertruida Zellealso known as Mata Hari, is the most famous Frisian courtesan, albeit of more recent times. She also worked in Paris. For this, whores were being exchanged among houses, within towns and between towns.

Prostitutes Beek were, in fact, sold because a new madam would pay the outstanding debt of the girl to the former Prostitutes Beek. Rotations of whores happened each three to four months. This practice was especially in place from the late seventeenth century and during the full eighteenth century. At the end of the nineteenth century, this was referred Prostitutes Beek as white slavery. It became a moral panic and people petitioned the government Prostitutes Beek halt this.

Prostitutes Beek by the abolitionists it led to restrictive policies against procuring Prostitutes Beek trafficking of women, and brothels were shut Prostitutes Beek.

Driving prostitution underground, again. Prostitutes Beek repeating. As noted earlier, prostitutes were mainly working in the garment and textile industry before, and, to a lesser extent, Prostitutes Beek cleaning maids. A profile applicable throughout the seventeenth century until around Not Prostitutes Beek much housemaids of earlier profession.

Housemaids were often better paid and enjoyed accommodation.

More or less the best job a lower-class girl could obtain. Average age of whores was between 21 and 25 years Dussen Of the prostitutes apprehended in Prostitutes Beek, only about 20 percent was born in Amsterdam. The rest came from other towns in the Republic, or from Scandinavia Prostitutes Beek northern, coastal Germany Van de Pol At the same time, Dutch and German women were working as prostitutes in England as well Cordingly Prostitutes in the early modern period tended to come from disrupted family environments.

Prostitutes Beek example domestic violence, death of a family member or abandonment by the husband Pluskota Typically, these merry paintings depicted a whore, a procuress, and, of course, a Prostitutes Beek client. The whore always beautiful and being cheerful, the procuress always old, wearing a white head cover and eager to make money, and the whoremonger always foolish and drinking alcohol. Again, cunning, coquettish women seducing innocent, defenseless men.

Oysters and lutes, symbols of sex, were often added. To avoid any misunderstanding where Prostitutes Beek jolly scene was all about.

However, these duplicitous portrayals of prostitutes had nothing to do with their true profile and nature, as briefly outlined above Stamler Different explanations are given by scholars why bordello paintings were of high demand.

We guess it was simply early porn in disguise. It is also from this time, to be an attractive and desirable prostitute, a girl needed to possess specific clothing. This were fanciful, colourful garments with flower motifs, and thus very expensive. Painted cloth was expensive. Whores imitated with their cloths the fashion of higher-class women.

Made of silks and satins. Also, a whore needed to have make-up, something that was adopted from the theatre. They whitened their faces, gave their cheeks a red blush, and painted some black mooches on their face.

Wigs too, often were worn. Lastly, a whore had to pay rent for the room, which was about half of her weekly earnings. The whore madam would rent her whores beautiful cloths, jewellery, Prostitutes Beek provide make up. Additional to all the costs above, girls were confronted with expenditures on unwanted pregnancy, a continuous risk for prostitutes, Prostitutes Beek expenditures as a result from recovering from venereal and other diseases.

Care, food, bed etc delivered by the whore madam while being sick had to be reimbursed. Result: a whore was indebted to her madam, thus dependent on her. Never to be able to repay her madam. Sounds familiar, maybe? Clientele of whores in Amsterdam, and other seaports, were not only sailors, people from the countryside and tourists, but also skippers and barge hands Prostitutes Beek inland, river navigation.

The latter even in quite significant numbers. The overwhelming Prostitutes Beek of johns in Amsterdam were however sailors. The Dutch Republic counted between 50, and 60, mariners working on ships. Sailors and prostitutes were very much connected to each other. Not only because sailors when they returned from the seven seas, spend all their money on drinking parties and whores. Also Prostitutes Beek brothels itself fulfilled a central role in Prostitutes Beek communication between sailors, wives and Prostitutes Beek members back in patriathe fatherland Van de Pol Oral messages and letters on the weal and woe of sailors and family Prostitutes Beek communicated through sailors back and forth via brothels.

Since most sailors were illiterate, whoremasters in brothels could organize messages being written down. Ties between prostitutes and sailors were so confident that sailors often gave Prostitutes Beek valuables to whore madams for safekeeping while they were at sea. A final note is that it was not always about sex. From Prostitutes Beek studies we know that sailors and whores surprisingly often had a pseudo marriage, meaning sailors would return to the same whore once back in the fatherland and both would live Prostitutes Beek being a couple for the time the sailor was on leave Van de PolCordingly Prostitutes Beek, sailors, like most people, also had the need of traditional female companionship, which they practically were not able to have.

As set out above, lower-class women had a vulnerable position in north-western Europe during the early modern period.

Although the number of young prostitutes increases, little systematic research has been undertaken to gain more insight into the trafficking. Sex work & sex workers in Australia Social workers and sex workers / Louise Webb and Janice Elms; A health service for sex workers / Ingrid van Beek.

Limited honourable jobs available, most jobs were reserved for men, wages much lower when compared to wages of men, and on average marrying at older age than elsewhere in Europe. In general, women had to take care of themselves between sixteen and twenty-five years. Furthermore, women in this region migrated a lot, towards the towns and cities to earn an income.

Wives of sailors in service of the VOC or WIC had an additional challenge, namely that their men would be away for sometimes two years. In the meantime, they had to survive without a husband helping the household with income too. Moreover, many sailors died of Prostitutes Beek and shipwrecked.

Confirmation that their husband had perished, often came late or never at all. Confirmation of death was a prerequisite to receive a modest allowance. So, besides criminality, what were the other options not entering the prostitution business as a sex worker? Prostitutes Beek intriguing, women-dominated business was the recruitment of sailors in Amsterdam. An aspirant sailor had to make debts for food Prostitutes Beek lodging while staying in the city before he could embark on a ship.

The landlady of the boarding house provided in advance food and accommodation, and she organized via a network of agents that her guest was Prostitutes Beek on a ship. In return, she received from the VOC Prostitutes Beek so-called transport ceel.

Value of a transport ceel was normally guilders, meaning a sailor would not earn any money for the next eighteen months Bruijn That could be years later. Ceels itself were transacted too. The ceels were traded for lower prices than the official value, given the uncertainty you could ever claim the money somewhere in the future.

Sailors Prostitutes Beek die or desert the Prostitutes Beek in the meantime. The worth of ceels was subject to speculation. News or rumours concerning wars, piracy, weather or diseases overseas influenced the value. Prostitutes Beek, ceels were sold at a price of 70 or 80 guilders Van der Pol Prostitutes Beek, Bruijn In other words, calculation based on harsh-life experience that taught about 50 percent of the sailors Prostitutes Beek not make it back to collect their gage.

Sailors died of scurvy, typhus, yellow fever, accidents, and shipwreck Cordingly But if he did make it back to Prostitutes Beekand you had bought his transport ceel for about half price, you could make a nice profit. This practice of selling ceels lasted well into the eighteenth century. And Prostitutes Beek a way, they were selling souls to the ferryman; read our post Prostitutes Beek souls of the dead to Britain: the Ferryman of Solleveld.

At the end of the sixteenth century women cross-dressing as men appears in Europe, but by far the most cases Prostitutes Beek found in northwest Europe and especially in the Dutch Republic, England and Germany. This tradition of travesty continued to around the year in the Republic, and a bit longer in England and the United States.

France picks up the tradition at the end of the eighteenth century with Prostitutes Beek women enrolling as men in the revolutionary army. Because many Prostitutes Beek were reserved for men and lower-class women often had no social family network to fall back on, another option to survive was to disguise as a man.

Prostitutes and female cross-dressers had a similar age and backgrounds. As a Prostitutes Beek, women could get access to male privileges and freedoms. You could Prostitutes Beek to enroll in the army, the navy, or as sailor of the different multinational corporations sailing to the East and the West. And so many young women did.

Most women impersonating men had had a troublesome youth and often lost one or both of their parents.

Unbearable situations with step-mothers and domestic conflicts or violence being part part of their Prostitutes Beek, are frequently encountered in the archives. It forced them to leave their family and hometown and seek a better future elsewhere. A Prostitutes Beek of the women pretending to be men identified in the Republic were migrants, mostly from the cities Emden and Hamburg, and from Westphalia.

There are many cases known, where women have been unmasked being woman, and been brought for court. Pretending to be a man as such was not considered dishonourable, but it was against the law of the Almighty Creator.

Woman could be revealed only within days after they commenced going through live as a man, but there are also cases that women functioned for six years on end as sailor without being discovered. These women also had to behave like men, and when being a sailor that meant showing rough behaviour, singing, cursing, visiting Prostitutes Beek and drinking a lot. Yes, they even had liaisons with women to mask their true gender. Also, these women Prostitutes Beek to be able to perform heavy work not inferior to men.

Interestingly, some women serving in the army as male soldiers made fame after they unmasked themselves. A famous, eighteenth-century woman Prostitutes Beek Hannah Prostitutes Beek from England who wrote an autobiography about her adventures going through life as a man for many years. She married a Dutch sailor named James Summs. He turned out to spend all their money on whores. When Hannah Prostitutes Beek carrying seven months, she left her husband.
