Both Unhappily Marriedmarie Had Also Fled The Aftermath Of Her Failed Affair With The Kingthe Sisters Chose To Leave Their Husbands For Life On The Road, A Life Quite Rare For Women Of Their Day.Through Their Writings, The Mancinis Sought To Rehabilitate Their Reputations And Reclaim The Right To Define Their Public Images Themselves, Rather Than Leave The Stories Of Their Lives To The Intrigues Of The Courtand To Their Disgruntled Exhusbands.
