In the middle of the European debate on the legalization or abolition of the carnal trade, the infamous woman emerges as a modern heroine, specifically the prostitute, a symbol of the evils that afflict contemporary society. The presence of the public woman in the popular narrative will give rise to a well-established brothel current that will legitimize the incursion of literature into the spaces of private life and into the silenced female sexuality, a necessary fertilizer for the birth of the 20th century Spanish erotic novel.
