Biography

French individualist anarchist activist and propagandist. Editor of the newspaper 'l'Anarchie' after the death of Albert Libertad, companion to the anarchist Mauricius (Maurice Vandamme) and to Viktor Kibaltschin alias Victor Serge. Both were tried as members of the Bonnot Gang - both knew the gang members (Serge having grown up with a number of them), both were involved in pro-Bonnot propaganda and 2 revolvers linked to the gang were found in their house. She was acquitted but Serge received 5 years in solitary. She wrote for many anarchist publications, such as 'La Revue Anarchiste', 'La Défense de l'Homme' and 'La Liberté' (founded by Louis Lecoin in 1959).
