«Le livre des courtisanes» is the historical essay by Susan Griffin, published by Albin Michel in paperback (288 pages, in French).
Susan Griffin portrays the great European courtesans, from Imperia to La Belle Otero, who used seduction to achieve wealth, power and education. Organised around the seven virtues of their art, the essay ranges from the Renaissance to the early 20th century and argues that these figures of humble origin helped liberate women.
Original title: «The Book of the Courtesans: A Catalogue of Their Virtues» (2001). French translation by Jacqueline Lahana.
For readers interested in social history, women's biographies and essays on the power of seduction.
