Gabrielle Russier was a French literature teacher. She was prosecuted in 1968 for having an affair with her student Christian Rossi, which caused her to die by suicide on September 1 of the same year.[1][2][3]
Her suicide inspired the 1971 French movie Mourir d'aimer, directed by André Cayatte, and the book The Affair of Gabrielle Russier, also published in '71.[4][5] At the time of her prosecution, Russier was a divorced mother of two children.[6]
