what would the women in Don Quixote be called (other than prostitutes)?

My son is working on a project on Don Quixote. He is uncertain of his notes regarding the women. His notes say they are "rameras" or something like that, but we cannot find that word and are uncertain of the spelling. Can you help?

According to the translators on this site:

las rameras = harlots

  • So, yes, I would say your sons notes are correct

Both what icanrideawave and limacopu have indicated would work as well
