Abstract

[On 27 April 1872, the man on whom Léonie Léon had set her sights finally consented to meet her. As Gambetta later recalled, ‘we met, were smitten by each other, gave ourselves to each other’.2 After four years of assiduous effort to achieve her goal, Léon was surely seeking a long-term relationship; Gambetta, already in a relationship with Marie Meersmans, may have anticipated only a casual affair. But the liaison between Gambetta and Léon gradually evolved into a serious commitment, and then into a shared family life that included Léon’s son and even her dogs.]
