       coquette. 
520    During the late nineteenth century the city of Berlin 
       developed such a reputation for lawlessness and sexual 
       licentiousness that it came to be known as the "Whore of 
       Babylon." Out of this reputation for debauchery grew an 
       unusually rich discourse around prostitution. In Berlin 
       Coquette, Jill Suzanne Smith shows how this discourse 
       transcended the usual cliches about prostitutes and 
       actually explored complex visions of alternative 
       moralities or sexual countercultures including the "New 
       Morality" articulated by feminist radicals, lesbian love, 
       and the "New Woman." Combining extensive archival research
       with close readings of a broad spectrum of texts and 
       images from the late Wilhelmine and Weimar periods, Smith 
       recovers a surprising array of productive discussions 
       about extramarital sexuality, women's financial autonomy, 
       and respectability. She highlights in particular the 
       figure of the cocotte (Kokotte), a specific type of 
       prostitute who capitalized on the illusion of respectable 
       or upstanding womanhood and therefore confounded easy 
       categorization. By exploring the semantic connections 
       between the figure of the cocotte and the act of 
       flirtation (of being coquette), Smith's work presents 
       flirtation as a type of social interaction through which 
       both prostitutes and non-prostitutes in Imperial and 
       Weimar Berlin could express extramarital sexual desire and
       agency. -- Publisher
