Thérèse Léa Maryvonne Gabrielle Alphen-Salvador (1856–1920) was a French philanthropist, feminist suffragist and pacifist.
She is remembered above all for helping to establish the École professionnelle d'assistance aux malades, France's first school for nurses.
They held a salon, inviting scientific and cultural figures, including the author André Gide and the politician Eugène Rouart.
[3][2] In 1900, following the death of her mother, Alphen-Salvador financed the establishment of the first nursing school in France, originally known as the Association pour le développement de l'assistance aux malades (ADAM).
