Henriette Sauret (after marriage, Sauret-Arnyvelde; 1890-1976) was a French feminist author, and feminist pacifist journalist.[1] As a feminist literary critic, her comments were less favorable about other feminist pacifist books than other experienced reviewers.[2]
Henriette Sauret was born in 1890.[3] Her father was Général Henry Sébastien Sauret. Henriette married the journalist André Arnyvelde.[4]
Sauret was a contributor to Le Dimanche illustré,[5] and La Fronde,[6] as well as a regular political contributor to La Voix des femmes,[7][a]
Her poetry was published in L'œil de veau.[9] In 1918 and again in the following year, Sauret published two volumes of war-related poetry, Les Forces détournées (Diverted Strengths) and L'Amour à la Géhenne (Love in Gehenna), whose theme was the deleterious impact that war has on women.[3]
Along with Jeanne Bouvier and Andre Mariani (Marie-Louise Bouglé's husband), Sauret was associated with the Société des Amis de la Bibliothèque Marie-Louise Bouglé.[10] She was also a member of the French Union for Women's Suffrage.[4] She was referred to as a radical feminist when in 1919, she spoke about bobbed women's hair as "a gesture of independence; a personal endeavor".[11][12]
Henriette Sauret died in 1976.[3] Erik Satie dedicated his Observations d'un imbécile (Moi) to Sauret.[9]
