Violette Le Duc was born on April 7th, 1907 in Arras, France. Violette had self esteem issues and was never able to accept herself as being more than her mother's illegitimate child; a relationship complicated by her mother's simultaneous hostility and over protectiveness. Le Duc's first sexual experiences with women happened in her boarding school, though she would marry and divorce her husband after World War II. Her writing career began accidentally after she failed an important school exam and started to work as a phone operator and proof reader and publicity writer for a publisher. Encouragement to write came from Maurice Sachs and Simone de Beauvoir.
