a woman who is not considered to behave according to the moral or social standards accepted by most people
Around, around, they waltzed and wound;Some wheeled in smirking pairs;With the mincing step of a demirepSome sidled up the stairs:And with subtle sneer, and fawing leer,Each helped us at our prayers.("The Ballad of Reading Gaol" by Oscar Wilde, 1897)
