you never hear of groups of men from that time nursing each other back to health, and caring for each other.

I love that the courtesans basically unionized and looked after their colleagues

Imagine how fun it would be to spend an afternoon with a group of retired courtesans. Probably have the best tea that ever existed.

Mind you most of these women mastered multiple languages and instruments and functioned as necessary conduits for ideas and theories across cultures. But they accomplished “nothing” 🙄🙄🙄🙄

So... basically nothing has changed. SWs still frequently retire quietly with enough money to support themselves or transition into civilian life because they earned enough to pay for education.

Honestly they were living the dream lol Having a supportive tight knit group of fellow courtesans, using rich men for their money, being able to thrive financially while being independent, all things I too this day want lmao XD

“They just stopped hanging out with men.” This is so relatable the older I get.

What was a girl to do in that time anyway? It wasn't like she could walk to a target and fill out a job application. There were few job opportunities that offered stability and actually gave women a way to build wealth.

Most people can’t handle wealth. Not a courtesan trait. Plus the successful one were likely intelligent and had to earn it, unlike spoiled aristocrats, so likely fewer ended up poor that average. 🤔

Also weren’t women like not allowed to have $ back then like it was always their husband or father or brother holding the cash… these women were independent on top of wealthy 💅

the modern day equivalent to a "crazy cat lady". yeah, she's alone and unmarried, but she's supporting herself and several loyal pets. that's a win in my book

Courtesans were some of the most educated women of the world at the time, ladies weren’t allowed in library’s but courtesans were. There a movie called Danegous Beauty, based on the life of the poetess courtesan Veronica Franco. It’s my favourite!

I have read 2 books about courtesans, and I knew they were laying about the ending! Because all their ending were always, they ended alone and in poverty. I was like, umm… 🤔 how convenient and coincidental😑. I knew it!!!!
