Belle Brezing

Belle Brezing was a nationally-known madame who started a brothel in the former home of Mary Todd Lincoln, the First Lady. What made Belle so different from the other madames out there is because she only catered to a certain clientele; she would only allow high class gentlemen to enter her brothel, and even during the Spanish-American War, she would only also senior military officers in.

Julia Bulette

Here’s another prostitute from the Wild West, Julia Bulette. When she was 27-years old, she moved to Virginia City, Nevada, and was the only single woman in the city. So, she began to prostitute. She was much-loved in the city thanks to her charity and her devotion to the town. When she was murdered in 1867 by a drifter, the entire town went into mourning and thousands came to her funeral.
