# Henriette Sauret

Henriette Sauret (after marriage, Sauret-Arnyvelde; 1890-1976) was a French feminist author, and feminist pacifist journalist. As a feminist literary critic, her comments were less favorable about other feminist pacifist books than other experienced reviewers.

## Biography

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

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

Her poetry was published in L'œil de veau. 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.

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. She was also a member of the French Union for Women's Suffrage. 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".

Henriette Sauret died in 1976. Erik Satie dedicated his Observations d'un imbécile (Moi) to Sauret.
