In a society dominated by men, a woman's best weapon is her charms. Forced by political and economic circumstances, in the spring of 1800 I had to leave my native France and move to England, where I spent my youth as the poor relative, surrounded by suffocating norms and conventions. I don't know if by luck or misfortune, at an early age I learned two truths that helped me overcome adversity and that made me the woman I am today. The first was realizing that for us, life was but a game of cards in which men always have the advantage, so I had to learn to bluff. The second was coming to the conclusion that for me there was only one way: to open my legs, either by contracting an acceptable marriage or receiving a few miserable coins, which would decrease as my age advanced. I traced my objectives without allowing feelings to affect me. I didn't mind being the target of criticism. I let my feminine charms dazzle as many as crossed my path so that they would never worry about my intelligence. And it all worked... Until I made the worst mistake...
