Jeanne Landre

Jeanne Landre (29 December 1874 – 15 November 1936) was a French journalist, critic and novelist. A 1923 survey of French literature called her "the romancer of Montmartre and the modern disciple of a Mürger still more bohemian than the original". After making her debut in the feminist newspaper La Fronde, run by Marguerite Durand, she became famous very early on.
