Victoria Unbuttoned: Maud Lord and the capital city s red light district

As buildings went up on Broad Street, frame houses and shanties were displaced, causing many small brothels to be closed. And, while it didn’t make the street more respectable, it did create a mix of more up-market and acceptable places.

This pleased one of Broughton Street’s mainstays, Maud Lord, who previously went by the name of Dora Son. In February of 1890, the steamer Islander carried passenger Dora Son from Vancouver to Victoria.

The Untold Truth About Madams In The Wild West

The Untold Truth About Madams In The Wild West Move over, Miss Kitty. The endearing harlot of the 1950s- and 60s-era television show Gunsmoke was a clean enough representation of madams in the old Wild West. Rarely, however, does Hollywood portray these women in a truthful light. Just take a look at Hornet, which lists ten films illustrating how the movie industry fails to portray the gritty business of sex work as it really was, and is. Even as film studios began employing stars like Greta Garbo to portray prostitutes during the 1930s mandates like the Hays Code, says NPR, studios also employed strict rules regarding moral conduct and correct thinking when writing and producing movies.
