Biography
Lucie Blanche Paul-Margueritte was born 9 January 1886, in Paris.[1] She was the daughter of Paul Margueritte, the niece of Victor Margueritte, and the granddaughter of General Jean Auguste Margueritte. Thanks to her father and her uncle, she became acquainted with Stéphane Mallarmé, Alphonse Daudet, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Louis Bertrand. She was well-traveled, visiting Algeria, Corsica, and Italy.
Paul-Margueritte began publishing in magazines at the age of eighteen. After three years of marriage, she divorced and thereafter lived with her widowed sister, Ève Paul-Margueritte. Together, they raised the latter's son, living from their writings.[2] She translated many English novels, including Bram Stoker's Dracula. She served as director of the publication of Scène et monde: périodique illustré, publie des comédies, contes et poèmes tous les mois (Stage and World: illustrated periodical, publishing plays, stories and poems every month) from 1939 to 1944.[3]
Like her sister, Paul-Margueritte was a member of the first women's gastronomic club, the "Club des belles perdrix".[4]
Lucie Paul-Margueritte died in Paris, 10 May 1955. She is buried along with her sister in the Cimetière d'Auteuil, Paris.[5]
