Karen Herland, writer and educator
Montreal’s Red Light District attracted people on both sides of the law who could exploit flexible definitions of morality and justice. However, prostitution was not limited to the intersection of Saint-Laurent Boulevard and Sainte-Catherine Street. This lecture will take place in a building that housed one of Mile End’s brothels in the 1920s.
