Béatrix Excoffon

Béatrix Excoffon, born Julia Euvrie or Œuvrie (10 July 1849 - 30 December 1916) was a militant communard who served as an ambulance nurse during the Paris Commune in 1871.

[4] That committee then organized the Club des Femmes de la Boule Noire, and Excoffon became its vice-president.

[9] 120 women delayed General Clinchant's troops before retreating, exhausted and low on ammunition, to place Pigalle.

[3][13] Louise Michel asked Victor Hugo to intervene on her behalf, since her parents and brother-in-law had died recently.

[3] Finally, Excoffon made an act of submission and her sentence was commuted, resulting in her release on 26 November 1878.
