"Fallen woman" is an archaic term which was used to describe a woman who has "lost her innocence", and fallen from the grace of God. In 19th-century Britain especially, the meaning came to be closely associated with the loss or surrender of a woman's chastity and with female promiscuity. Its use was an expression of the belief that to be socially and morally acceptable, a woman's sexuality and experience should be entirely restricted to marriage, and that she should also be under the supervision and care of an authoritative man. Used when society offered few employment opportunities for women in times of crisis or hardship, the term was often more specifically associated with prostitution, which was regarded as both cause and effect of a woman being "fallen". The term is considered to be a

rdfs:comment	Begreppet fallen kvinna är en historiskt term som användes för att beskriva en kvinna som "förlorat sin oskuld" och fallit från Guds nåd. I Storbritannien kom det på 1800-talet att känneteckna en kvinna som förlorat eller givit upp sin kyskhet. Begreppet blev ett uttryck för uppfattningen att socialt och moraliskt acceptabla kvinnor begränsade sin sexualitet och erfarenhet helt och hållet till äktenskapet; samt att en kvinna skulle vara under översikt och omvårdnad av en auktoritär make. Begreppet användes ofta i samband med prostitution, vilket sågs som både orsak till och verkan av att kvinnan var fallen. Under 2000-talet ses begreppet som anakronistiskt, även om det har betydelse i socialhistoria och förekommer i många litterära verk. (sv) Als gefallenes Mädchen wurde in meist bürgerlichen Kreisen bis ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein eine junge Frau bezeichnet, die ihre Jungfräulichkeit verloren hatte, ohne verheiratet zu sein, und dadurch von den vorherrschenden Moralvorstellungen abwich. Im weiteren Sinne wurden damit auch Frauen bezeichnet, die sich auf sonstige Weise außerhalb der Wertvorstellungen der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft bewegten. Anton Birlinger beschreibt Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts in Sitten und Gebräuche die Hochzeitssitten in Tuttlingen: „Die Rose ist zu früh gepflückt.“ (de) "Fallen woman" is an archaic term which was used to describe a woman who has "lost her innocence", and fallen from the grace of God.
