Who was Emily Robin?
Emily Robin, also known as Lady Emily Robin or Madam Robin, was an infamous British bordello owner in the beginning of the 20th century.
In 1898 she started a brothel in Hull, England, called “Gamine”. It became one the most notorious cat-houses in Western Europe, primarily for its large occupancy and the high prices that were charged.
Robin insisted on being referred to, at least by her girls and customers, as Lady Robin, rather than the traditional, and in her opinion degrading, title of Madam.
She died on 29 October 1929 after being run over by a wagon on Kensington High Street in London. She was 55.
