She began her career at the age of fifteen, becoming the mistress of William Craven, 1st Earl of Craven, and 7th Baron Craven. At the age of forty, she decided to secure her financial future by publishing her own autobiography. She and her publisher decided to blackmail her lovers. Among her lovers was Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, who commented "publish, and be damned" when informed of her plans to write her memoirs. Published in 1825, the same year as the present work, under the title Memoirs of Harriette Wilson, Written by Herself, the book immediately became a bestseller.
