Biography

Henriette Sauret was born in 1890.^[3] Her father was Général Henry Sébastien Sauret [fr]. Henriette married the journalist André Arnyvelde.^[4]

Sauret was a contributor to Le Dimanche illustré [fr],^[5] and La Fronde,^[6] as well as a regular political contributor to La Voix des femmes,^[7][a]

Her poetry was published in L'œil de veau.^[9] In 1918 and again in the following year, Sauret published two volumes of war-related poetry, Les Forces détournées (Diverted Strengths) and L'Amour à la Géhenne (Love in Gehenna), whose theme was the deleterious impact that war has on women.^[3]

Along with Jeanne Bouvier and Andre Mariani (Marie-Louise Bouglé's husband), Sauret was associated with the Société des Amis de la Bibliothèque Marie-Louise Bouglé.^[10] She was also a member of the French Union for Women's Suffrage.^[4] She was referred to as a radical feminist when in 1919, she spoke about bobbed women's hair as "a gesture of independence; a personal endeavor".^[11][12]
