Ève Paul-Margueritte (5 February 1885 – 16 July 1971) was a French-language writer, the author of many sentimental novels. After she was widowed and her sister, Lucie Paul-Margueritte, was divorced, they lived and worked together, co-authoring at least two books, and several translations. She translated from English to French works by Alice and Claude Askew, Thomas Hardy, E. Phillips Oppenheim, Garrett P. Serviss, Bram Stoker Lilian Turner, Paul Urquhart, and A. M. Williamson. Paul-Margueritte was the recipient of the "Prix Jean-Jacques-Berger", for Auteuil et Passy, 1947, and the "Prix Georges-Dupau", 1950, from the Académie Française.
Ève Antonie Paul-Margueritte[1] was born 5 February 1885, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.[2] She was the daughter of Paul Margueritte, the niece of Victor Margueritte, and the granddaughter of Jean Auguste Margueritte.
In 1919, she married Charles Gaucher (1877-1927).[1][3][4] After Ève was widowed and Lucie divorced, the sisters lived together, raising the former's son and living off their writings.[5]
With Lucie, Paul-Margueritte translated many English-language novels, including Bram Stoker's Dracula[6] and others by Thomas Hardy and Alice Muriel Williamson.
Both of the sisters were members of the first women's gastronomic club, the "Club des belles perdrix".[7]
Ève Paul-Margueritte died in Limeil-Brévannes, 16 July 1971,[2] and is buried, along with her sister, in the Cimetière d'Auteuil.[8]
