The life of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire - 1757 until 1806. An extraordinary woman whose intelligence was her main weapon to deceive the rigid English society at the end of the 18th century. She was married to the extremely wealthy Duke of Devonshire whose only interest in life was to produce an heir. Georgiana broke with every convention, she gave herself to extramarital passions, and joined the Liberal Party at a time when women had no right to vote. The British society was marked by her history to the extent that the Princess Diana is regarded as one of her direct descendants.
