yes, i should have said 19th century. once again. some americans may not be able to distinguish between a courtesan and a prostitute any more than they can between a geisha and a prostitute but they are not the same thing either in france for the courtesan in the case of gigi or for the geisha. but "gigi" wasn't written by, for, about, or to americans. it was written by a french woman on a subject whose distinctions she and her readers understood completely.
