| Summary | "Margot la Ravaudeuse" by Louis Charles Fougeret de Monbron is a novel written in the early 18th century. The story introduces the titular character, Margot, a young woman born into a life of poverty and shaped by her mother’s profession as a seamstress, ultimately challenging social norms around virtue and vice. Margot's experiences illustrate her rise through the ranks of society, navigating the complexities of love, sexuality, and survival. The opening of the novel presents Margot's early life, detailing her upbringing in a modest Paris home dominated by her mother's laziness and the sewing trade. At the tender age of thirteen, Margot transitions from being her mother’s apprentice to becoming a skilled ravaudeuse, gaining the attention of the neighborhood's male courtiers. As she matures, her curiosity about romance and physical pleasure intensifies, culminating in her first sexual experiences and the subsequent decision to leave her mother’s strict household in pursuit of independence. The narrative sets the stage for Margot’s adventures as she becomes embroiled in the world of seduction, ultimately reflecting the harsh realities and societal critiques of the time.
