This book identifies the prostitute memoir as a subgenre of the eighteenth-century French libertine novel and explores how the fictional utopia the narrators of these salacious pseudo-memoirs undermine the patriarchal hierarchies of the Ancien Régime and propose a social model in which women form networks of mutual support to achieve wealth and personal satisfaction.
