“They apparently remain taxi-dancers for only about a year or two[.]”

“Historically taxi-dancers were considered immoral women by the reformers of the nineteen-teens and twenties both because they participated with strangers in an activity generally reserved for established couples and because some engaged in various forms of prostitution.”

“Like waitresses, taxi dancers, women who danced with male customers for a small fee, created a cooperative atmosphere with each other both in the closed dance halls in which they worked and outside of the workplace.”
