main character in The Faith of Whores is She became a prostitute when

THE FAITH OF
WHORES(1998) by lenore von stein at brooklyn college lenore von stein,
composer/librettist/soprano THE FAITH OF WHORES(1997) in development at Bradford College, Massachusetts lenore von stein, composer /
soprano " The Faith of Whores arose from, Von Stein notes, 'talking to a woman with two teenage children who told me that boys routinely cal girls 'whores' and that girls refer to themselves the same way.' Wondering whether that was a backlash of the sexual revolution or a result of the barrage of Hollywood movies filled with women with no personalities, Von Stein evolved a dramatic character to explore her questions.
