Social Context
D'Asco represents the visible demi-monde - women living outside respectable society through relationships with wealthy men. Such women were regular fixtures at theaters, music halls, and cafés, often seated prominently to display their beauty and their protectors' wealth.Notes
The mention suggests d'Asco was recognizable enough for Marie to identify her. Further research needed on her specific identity and prominence in Parisian society.La plus grande partie de ce glossaire a été établie avec l'aide de modèles de langage (IA) et vérifiée d'après les sources citées ; des erreurs restent possibles.
