So she writes to all the men and she's, I think, fair about this where it's like it's blackmail, but she's basically saying she's writing to all of them and saying, you owe me money and I plan to release an intimately detailed tell all book about my life. So the way you keep your name out of this book is you pay me what you owe me. Yeah. Yeah.

Some of them take her seriously and hand over the money. Others doubt her, suspecting either she's bluffing or she couldn't even write a book if she wanted to. And those men that doubted her lose big time because Peg publishes not just one, but three tell-all memoirs about... About her life.

And in every one, she publishes the names of the politicians, military personnel, clergymen, and, you know, like fancy royal guys.

It's like such a brilliant idea. And it's such a like, oh, yeah, fuck all this shit. Like, why would I ever go along with this idea of that? I'm supposed to be the one. Right.

Keep those secrets. And it's like, oh, you're a scumbag that not only. Right. You know, like cheats on your wife for all the reasons that you think it's bad that you're getting caught going to a sex worker.

So the first volume comes out in 1795. It is a massive hit. Of course, the people of Ireland cannot, cannot... Stop. It's selling out. People can't wait to get their hands on what is basically the hottest piece of gossip of their lifetimes.

I know the money Peg earns from the sales of this book is more than enough to pay off her debts to get her out of prison. But the success is so massive. She figures why stop there.

All three volumes of Peg's memoirs are in the public domain and are available to read online for free. Mm-hmm. Historian Julie Peekman has also compiled a condensed version of the tell-all with her own analysis and commentary called Peg Plunkett Memoirs of a Whore.
