The Poisonous Chalice

Hi my lovely lovers and companions things can only get better and they do if you pay me a visit.   I look forward to hearing your stories no matter what they are.  I am a good listener and many other things that you will find out. 

I was invited out last week some lady friends of mine and they got talking about Men! Not all good but some were. This brings back an article I once read about a lady called Giulia Tofana and the following is her story.

With a concoction known as Aqua Tofana, Giulia Tofana found a creative solution for Renaissance women in need of a divorce. Giulia Tofana called her formula Aqua Tofana. It was tasteless and odourless. It could be added to a nightly bowl of soup or a whiskey. And at the end of the day, it would give a woman permission to live her life without her mate. With her inheritance. Because especially back in those days, Aqua Tofana was untraceable and mimicked a gastrointestinal issue. Some may call Giulia Tofana an ingenious (if evil) entrepreneur. Others, however, may call her an old-school version of a social justice warrior. She saw the unhappy women of the world (and in her own social circle) and decided to help them.

In 17th-century Italy, women were auctioned off like objects. They were forced into loveless and often abusive marriages. These women had no social or financial power. Because of this, they had just a few options available to them. They could get married, stay single and be a sex-worker, or become a respected and well-to-do widow. The latter obviously required the first option… and this was Giulia’s target market.

As a result of these circumstances, Tofana synthesized her own untraceable poison that she then packaged discreetly in a makeup/cosmetics bottle. As a result, she was the hero to many women trapped in undesirable circumstance. Giulia sold cosmetics in southern Italy — and her special recipes for Aqua Tofana contained enough arsenic to kill without leaving a trace. Her goal was to keep her poison secret so that she could continue to sell the potent concoction. And she managed to fool the authorities for nearly 50 years.
