 worker self determination.  Many women worked as prostitutes in early 
 America as it gave them ability to migrate.  Use of phrases and words 
 associated with prostitution such as ‘Red Light District’ and 
 ‘punk’ will reveal the relationship between freedom loving people; 
 organized workers and prostitutes. \n\nSlava Osowska is an IWW member of
