Here I explore the stories of high society women living in the times of Romanticism who were lovers of famous contemporary men: Balzac, Chopin, Hugo, Liszt, Byron. They created a peculiar web of sexual relationships where each woman (among them: George Sand, Rachel Felix, Lola Montez) was linked to another through their mutual lovers. Thus, a constellation of lovers had emerged—mysterious, complex and entangled.
