Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating memoir by a woman whose life took a dramatic turn after she was seduced and abandoned by her lover. Faced with poverty and despair, she resorts to prostitution to survive, enduring the grim realities of the trade and the scorn of society. Her experiences offer a raw and unflinching look into the lives of marginalized women and the harsh judgments they faced in 18th-century England. Through her poignant narrative, the author explores themes of love, betrayal, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity, providing a valuable historical account of women's struggles and shedding light on the complexities of female agency during this period.
