Wrong And Right Methods Of Dealing With Social Evil: As Shown By English Parliamentary Evidence (1883) is a book written by Elizabeth Blackwell that discusses the issue of prostitution in England during the 19th century. The book is based on the evidence presented to the English Parliament's Select Committee on the Contagious Diseases Acts in 1882. Blackwell argues that the Contagious Diseases Acts, which allowed for the forced medical examination of women suspected of prostitution, were ineffective in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and violated women's rights. She proposes alternative methods of addressing the social evil of prostitution, including education, social reform, and the provision of alternative employment opportunities for women. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the attitudes towards prostitution and women's rights during the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
