What It Was Like To Be A Madam In A Wild West Saloon

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I'm just grateful I was born in a time where air conditioners are a thing.

[@user-nj9vo2uv6b]

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

She serviced all the top politicians and was considered the most powerful woman in Missouri politics. As for Lexington, KY, the high end madam business is alive and well. Several local newscasters have been caught coming out of places that are operated by the same handful of women, including one who co-hosted the news with his wife, a former Miss Kentucky.

My great-grandmother was a madam with a boarding house near the docks in Eastern Massachusetts. She ran the only Kosher brothel around - although I am not quite sure what kosher means in the context of a brothel! She did many of the things noted here, including starting the first 'ladies bank' giving interest-free loans to women. Probably had a piano in the parlour, though, in the 1870's, not likely automatic.

[@shawnalynn5198]

this is so interesting, ty for sharing!

[@trawlins396]

Wow!

[@mrbutch308]

Well, "kosher" (or more properly "kashrut") generally refers to food and drink. so I assume she only served kosher snacks. "Don't go away hungry, have a hot pastrami on rye with a nice kosher dill pickle!" No bacon or shrimp hors d'oeuvres (a bad pun there). But who knows? Only Jewish girls? No patrons who were uncircumcised? Yiddish spoken on the premises? Oh the possibilities! Maybe the men paid the girls for an hour of kvetching.

[@jimkatz1]

Some of the other postings refer to some very positive things these madams accomplished, as well as some of the seamier stuff. This great grandma of mine also did some of the good stuff, funding education and opening the first ladies bank in New England. She is supposed to have specialized in free loans for women making a go of it in business, perhaps after retiring from experience with her.

[@jimkatz1]

@@mrbutch308 I am betting that most of those suggestions are true to some extent. Kosher food, very likely, Yiddish spoken, definitely, Paid kvetching as much as shtupping - that is still a constant in the prostitution business,

[@baldviking1970]

The 19th Century and the industrial revolution was a period of transition. In pre modern time women ruled at home, where most of the action was for most of the people, while men often specialised into doing primarily just one thing, like hunting, fishing, farming, soldiering, baking, blacksmithing. In many ways women had richer and more varied lifes than men. Staying in family or village groups and having to learn to master a vide varity of household trades. Usually everybody did what their father or mother had done, stayed at the same place they were born and kept in the same social class. Exceptions being made for the nobility and to an extent small middle classes. But there too you usually did what your father and mother had done. The 19th Century changed all that. Yes, women were often one or two generations behind men, and that was unjust, but everybody got more options and choices after having had close to none for like the beginning of time. And as for working options for women at the period of this video, I think there were a thousand times more female servants than prostitutes and a hundred times more female factory workers than prostitutes.

[@Sunset553]

If the tv western portrayed women with any accuracy, a woman could also be a teacher.

[@baldviking1970]

@@Sunset553 As more tasks were moved from within the family or village group into paid labour, or entirely new never before seen trades showed up, and as the economy shifted from self sustaining into early capitalism, women laborers usually show up shortly after men in most trades. For the mid west and western territories of USA during this period, I would think a lot of women were working as cleaners, waitresses, teachers, mid wifes and nurses , shop clerks, seamstresses, baby sitters, housekeepers, maids, but also in farming and small factories. I know of female police constables and railway employees from the late 19th century. There were often local expectations for women laborers to stay unmarried, but when brought to court (something that did not often happen) these were usually overturned.

I was fortunate enough to work in a nursing home back in the late 80's in an old gold country town that was part of the California gold rush of 1849 (really, probably more like 1852) There was a woman I took care of who was 104 at the time. As it turned out, she had been the madam of the local brothel that is currently still operating though now it's merely a tourist hotel with the saloon downstairs. When I first met her, she took one look at me and said, "I could make so much money with you honey". I didn't understand what she meant, assuming that because of her age she just wasn't making sense. It wasn't until later that I found out her previous occupation and instantly understood. Once she got to know me better, she told me a LOT of stories about her time being a madam in "the old west".

My research finds wine as the number one choice of drink Then- warm beer Then- the watered down whiskey

[@rickkinki4624]

@@johnthonig8832 I think you're pretty darn close. It's just the whiskey would, whenever possible, be mixed with something.

I lived in a former brothel on the old pony express trail route in Northern California. It was haunted as f*** and I am traumatized from my years spent there. A Wild West cowboy “customer” would stand at the foot of my bed and just stare at me. I would hear his boots coming up the stairs and smell his cigar smoke.

[@roningaming_1]

- Famous outlaws of the old west - Famous bank robbers during the Great Depression-era - Frank Hamer and Maney Gault, the two former Texas Rangers who attempt to track down and apprehend notorious criminals Bonnie and Clyde. These would be pretty cool episodes 😁

This was great! I’d like to see one on Wyatt Earp or Jesse James!

My mother always said she wanted to be an old west madame. She had the personality for it and she was an entrepreneur who started and ran several businesses during her life

[@Armando_Brown32]

Although a lot of hurdles would have to be cleared, the possibility is there if she opened an “old west” themed brothel in one of the Nevada counties w/ legal prostitution.

I'm amazed by the knowledge of so many of these Madams names & brief detailed histories of them.

There are a number of great stories about Madams in the Twin Cities at the same time. If you're interested in more info, look up Ida Dorsey, Nina Clifford, Long Kate, and others.

Vietnamese here, which side you want to know about? South or North?, and the Vietnam war is not long ago, its just like 40 years, you can find documents about that matter easily.

[@USNBLUE]

Kodiak Express I agree America shouldn't never have been involved in Nam. However, Vietnam went to war and America intervened! For what? Nam is still communist. And there are no excuses for our Soldiers to be treated the way they were by liberals and the media. May all of them rot for that.
