An 18th-century young woman named Mary Saunders--apparently an actual person--yearns to be a prostitute because she likes their clothes and their independence. Steeped in period detail, the story explores the role of women at the time, and the options available to them, with insight and clarity. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.
