French Morality, Under the Regulation System

''French Morality, Under the Regulation System'' is a social reform treatise by Julie-Victoire Daubié, published in 1870. The book critiques the state regulation of prostitution in France, arguing that it perpetuates exploitation and societal decay through police-tolerated brothels and legal privileges for men. Daubié calls for equal legal responsibility for men, better protections for women, and humane alternatives for those seeking to exit prostitution, while highlighting the hypocrisy of the legal system that favors male clients over vulnerable women. The work serves as a significant historical document advocating for gender-neutral laws and social justice.
