At 19 she formed a relationship with a well-to-do businessman from Lyon, Jacques Bietrix de Rozieres ,who installed her in Paris with a comfortable income. It has been suggested, however, that de Gouges may have fled the marriage and invented this story as a cover. She gave birth to a son, Pierre Aubry , the same year that Louis-Yves died in a flood. At 17 she was married to Louis-Yves Aubry, a much older business associate of her father.
It is possible that de Gouges was the illegitimate daughter of Jean-Jacques Lefranc, the Marquis de Pompignan, a minor playwright-a rumor that she encouraged and may even have started. Her father, Pierre Gouze, was a butcher and her mother, Anne-Olympe Mouisset , came from a family of drapers. Olympe de Gouges was born Marie Gouze in Monauban, a small town north of Toulouse in 1748. Portrait of de Gouges, Alexander Kucharsky.
