Léonise Valois

Léonise Valois (French pronunciation: [leɔniz valwa]; October 11, 1868 – May 20, 1936) was a Canadian poet and journalist.

After completing her education in 1883, Valois worked as bookkeeper for her father's medical practice and helping him with his patients.

In 1929, she became editor for the women's pages of La Terre de chez nous, the newsletter of the Union Catholique des Cultivateurs.

Valois published little during the following years except for a few articles in the Montreal periodicals L’Autorité nouvelle and La Revue moderne.

In 1936, shortly before her death, she won the annual poetry competition held by the Société des Poètes Canadiens-Français.
