 the limits and possibilities of a primary source from the settler colonial 
 archive: prisoners’ records of those charged with prostitution-related offe
 nces in early 20<sup>th</sup> century Vancouver. My excavation opens a wind
 ow into complex dynamics of settler colonial rule\, racialization\, relatio
 ns of gender and sexuality\, and shifting geographies of work and leisure. 
 Reading with and against the grain\, I ask: who were the ‘sporting women’ w
 ho serviced a diverse clientele in downtown brothels and on city streets? H
 ow and why were some men entangled in police surveillance? What can we lear
 n about the workers’ conditions of labour under carceral capitalism\, along
 side their queer networks of kin and care? On what grounds did moral entrep
 reneurs invest in the socio-legal regulation and stigmatization of sex work
 ? I consider how sex workers’ fight for sovereignty\, safety\, and security
  in 2021 remains as urgently necessary as it was more than a century ago.</
 p><hr /><p><strong>Becki Ross</strong> is a long-time academic-activist in
