Answer 9

"Tales of Woe" is a book written by one of Queen Victoria's children, Louise Caroline Alberta, under the Pseudonym "Saffron". Born in 1848, she realised at an early age that she was more attracted to women than to men. She was however forced into marrying John Campbell, Duke of Argyll. They had no children. The book details her various liaisons with women; she described these furtive liaisons as her "woes".
