Prostitutes/Madams

This page updated October 12, 2005




I don't intentionally mean to insult anyone's intelligence by explaining this profession. I was rather surprised to find it listed in the census records. These were women who made a profit by selling their bodies to men. The "mistresses" listed are traditionally considered to be the one's in charge of a "house of ill repute".
