#2- Pirate Booty and WAP in the Wild West

Today, we learn about Cheng I Shih and Julia Bulette - two old-timey sex workers who did very different things with their loot. We’ll talk about floating brothels, sex work on the American frontier,  and ask if either of these queens might have aligned with the branches of feminism we talked about in episode 1.
