Abstract
Female prostitutes have worked in South Australia since white settlement in 1836, with brothels established in Adelaide by 1841, notably in the early housing zone known as 'Buffalo Row'. In contrast, male prostitutes became more visible in the late twentieth century. Since colonisation, female prostitution has been an employment option predominantly chosen by working-class women to circumvent poverty when faced with few labour market choices.
