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.

Life Jeanne Landre was born in Paris on 29 December 1874 and died in the 6th arrondissement of Paris on 15 November 1936.
