And in certain cities in ancient Greece, harlots were associated with sacred activities at temples. Even in the American Wild West, there was a degree of tolerance. So what happened through the years? We'll investigate innumerable stories about the changing social position of the 'ladies of the night' throughout history, and find out why prostitution is called the oldest profession! Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - I wish I had that "blue book". This was a very interesting documentary. There was something mentioned called a "blue book" a sort of yellow pages for hookers. I collect old books. I would love to have one of these!! If you like the History Channel...you will love this show.
