The term “demimondaine” refers to a woman who is part of the demimonde, which is a social circle that exists outside conventional society, often associated with a lifestyle of hedonism and sexual liberalism. Historically, it described women who engaged in relationships with wealthy men and often lived in a way that was seen as morally questionable or scandalous. The word evokes a sense of allure and complexity, and is often linked to themes of social status and the tension between respectability and a more liberated lifestyle.
