The purpose of this critical essay is to demonstrate that female sex work is linked to diversified stakes which all have an impact on the social representations conveyed towards women. It adopts a constructivist analysis (foucaldienne) to illustrate the institutionalization of the standards of women's sexuality. The text demonstrates how female prostitution is a social construction. Il then depicts the political debate which surrounds the question and from which various types of feminism and models of regulation have emerged. Finally, an analysis of female prostitution as an object of intervention in social work is exposed.

This article examines the figure of the sex worker as represented in Quebec's tabloid press in the years 1942 to 1960. It focuses on two successive periods in the history of Quebec print culture: first, the years 1942-1947, represented by the periodical Police Journal, which, part newspaper and part magazine, proposed a reformist examination of Quebec morality through sensationalist reporting on crime and vice; second, the yellow journalism of the 1950s, which exploited sex trade crimes for sensationalist purposes. During the transition between the two periods and the two print entities, the figure of the city prostitute evolved: she was first the symbol of a social hygiene problem and next a criminal figure, creating narratives of individual action and agency.

French law does not incriminate prostitution activities per se. Nevertheless, it considers the prostitution contract to be illicit, thereby equating it with exercising a tolerated liberty that the law refuses to regulate. An analysis of the object of the contract shows that this illicitness cannot be considered to rest on the human body's inalienability. From a legal standpoint, neither the obligations arising from the contract nor the performances expected from the parties present any genuine originality in relation to employment contracts or agreements to provide certain services (massage, breast feeding, etc.). Only the object of the contract, i.e. the nature of the bargain (sexual relations in exchange for money) may find the basis of its illicitness in its disregard for physical public order, the successor of morality.
