A notable French writer of memoirs; born at Valenciennes, March 11, 1726; died April 17, 1783. Having a worthless husband, she cultivated intellectual society-Grimm, D'Holbach, Diderot, Rousseau; for the latter she erected in her chateau garden at Montmorency a cottage, "The Hermitage". She published a valued work on education, "The Conversations of Emilie"; "Letters to my Son"; and My Happy Moments". Her posthumously published "Memoirs" constitute a charming autobiography written with the freedom of an artist.
