Story0
Casada a los 16 años con un marqués ya mayor quedó viuda a los 16 años y medio. La primera experiencia con el sexo opuesto que tuvo la marquesa fue totalmente negativa y eso le hizo estar muy condicionada con respecto a los hombres. El problema de la sociedad de la época era que una mujer no podía estar sin un marido que la apoyara o un amante al menos, sin sufrir la humillación sarcasmo y ridículo del entorno social.
