The term does seem to have some hits in Google books, but I cannot confirm the sense of prostitute from the quotations that I find. See google books:"lady of light virtue" and google:"lady of light virtue". --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:47, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
- "Chardin was approached ... by a lady he took to be a high-class prostitute. ... He had not long since arrived in Isfahan and, wary of the possible implications of being accosted by a lady of light virtue, refused her offer and passed by."[1]--Prosfilaes (talk) 11:53, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
- Most of the uses seem to refer to a slut (in layman's terms). Mglovesfun (talk) 21:40, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- I have expanded the definition to "slut or prostitute" and detagged the entry. OK? - -sche (discuss) 21:01, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
