Gaëtane de Montreuil

Gaëtane de Montreuil was the pen name of Géorgina Bélanger (January 22, 1867 – June 24, 1951), a writer in Quebec. She has been described as one of the leading early Canadian women journalists.

The daughter of Ambroise Belanger and Berenice-Louise-Veronique Sedilot, she was born in Quebec City. She graduated from the École normale in 1885. She worked as a journalist for various publications including Le Coin du feu, Le Monde illustré and La Presse. In 1913, she started her own magazine Pour vous Mesdames, targeted at a female audience. She also published short stories and novels and, in 1917, a collection of poetry Les rêves morts.

In 1913, with Éva Circé-Côté, she founded the first lay institution of higher learning for young women in Quebec. De Montreuil is considered to be an early feminist.

Her life inspired Louise Simard's 1996 novel Le médaillon dérobé. There is also a Rue Gaëtane-De Montreuil in Lévis.
