Abstract

This article addresses the situation of regulated female prostitution, the conceptions about it and the control of its exercise by the state authorities of the Buenos Aires town of Junín. It is analyzed in terms of its relationship with the patriarchal family model that different sectors tried to impose in the country between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In this period it acquired a series of specific features and a marked relevance due to the dimension and characteristics of the development traversed by the country and, particularly, the locality. For a series of strongly rooted conceptions at the time was conceived as a fundamental activity for the maintenance of a specific social order and gender, but which in turn embodied some dangers. Therefore, it was decided to regulate it through the municipalities, focusing mainly on moral, hygienic and security aspects.
