Jeanne Bouvier

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.

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.

When she was eleven, the family moved again and settled in Saint-Symphorien-d'Ozon, Rhône, and she became a silk factory worker.
