Who? Fraulein Kost

I have chosen to focus my research on Fraulein Kost.  The initial information I pick up when first reading the script is that she has turned to prostitution to make a living.  However it is worded 'She earns a living by offering favours to sailors'.  I find it sad that girls and women struggled so much in Berlin in this era that they had to use their bodies to survive.

The picture above says to me the women are gathered on the street looking for 'work'. Prostitution was very popular during the 1920's in Berlin and it was regular for women and men to be roaming the streets looking to have sex with the same or opposite sex for money to live.
