The Wife's Backstory

Later on we find Lennie in the barn alone and Curley's wife starts talking to him.  She reveals some things about her past like how she's lonely and all she really wants is some company. We learn that she had the chance to become a showgirl but her mother wouldn't allow it and that caused some rather bitter feelings towards her mother. The only real reason Curley's wife got married to Curley was because she didn't like her mother and felt that she was just jealous of her daughter when in reality she just didn't want to put her in the danger of  getting a bad reputation.
