With the growing independence of women and their demand for rights and lifestyles once reserved for men, specific services began to emerge for them. One such service was what were called “Houses for Women Only.” Located in suburban areas and often housed in anonymous buildings, they were distinguished by symbols that were easily recognizable to those who knew their meaning. In these houses, where men were strictly forbidden to enter, women offered various services to other women, all with the sole purpose of making their experience enjoyable and relaxing.
