Jeanne Bouvier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeanne Bouvier (11 February 1865 – 1964) is remembered as a French textile worker, feminist, and militant trade unionist.
Born in 1865 in Salaise-sur-Sanne, Isère,[1] she was the daughter of Marcel Bouvier and Louise Grenouiller.[2] The family moved to Saint-Rambert-d'Albon, Drôme, when Bouvier was 16 months old. She had a sister and there was a brother who died[3] of measles. As a child, Bouvier helped her mother work in the fields and guard the cows. At the age of ten years, Bouvier was sent to board at a religious school in Épinouze where she was a good student.
