Professor Elizabeth Clement received her B.A. in History and Women's Studies at Columbia University in New York City. She then went to the University of Pennsylvania, earning a Masters and Ph.D. in History and a graduate certificate in Women's Studies. Her book (published in June of 2006 by University of North Carolina Press) is titled Love for Sale: Courting Couples, Charity Girls, and Sex Workers and the Making of Modern Heterosexuality in New York City, 1900-1945 and focuses how American understandings of the relationship between sexual activity and morality have changed over time. In it she compares prostitution, a working-class practice called treating (which involves the exchange of sex for entertainment expenses), and courtship. In 2001, this project won the Dixon Ryan Fox Prize for the best manuscript on the history of New York State from the New York State Historical Society. Professor Clement has authored several reviews and three articles, including "Prostitution,"written for The Palgrave Guide to the History of Sexuality in the Modern West, and "From Sociability to Spectacle: Interracial Sexuality and the Ideological Uses of Space in New York City, 1900-1930,
