DRAFT (to be approved by sponsor): The book examines the history of regulated prostitution in twentieth-century China as a way to show how, in concrete, monetary terms, government officials' choices about gender and sexuality-what is acceptable behavior for women and men in these areas-can make local government bigger, more complex, wealthier, more powerful, or just the opposite.
