Biography
Madeleine-Angelique was born in Paris on the 22nd of November 1684 to the actor Paul Poisson.[1]
Madeleine-Angélique married a Spanish nobleman, Don Gabriel de Gomez, thinking he was rich. When she discovered her husband was burdened with debt, she turned to writing as a hope to escape poverty. Her first a tragedy, Habis, was released in 1714 to much critical appeal, but her other early works were not as successful.[2][1]
