Daisy Fraser is reportably the town prostitute. She also had an illegitimate child with Benjamin Pantier. She gets sent to court repeatedly, and is forced to pay varies fines as a result. Everyone in the town knows of her and speaks of her but not to her. She is a liberal, although liberals would not want her presence at their meetings. Daisy has insider knowledge of some of the corruption going on in Spoon River and therefore has a very different perspective that shows in her monologue.
Hope that helps, I'm just starting my research on this character and will add more if I can think of more!

Because Edgar Lee Masters puts the idea of a small town under a totally different light for the time period it is considered controversial. He does this by having most of the characters in the Spoon River Anthology commit sins and have things happen to them that most people thought was unheard of for a closely knit community of a small town.
