Catherine Bernard (24 August 1663, in Rouen – 6 September 1712, in Paris) was a French poet, novelist, and playwright born into a Huguenot family.[1] She was the first woman to compose a tragedy performed at the Comédie-Française,[2][3][4][5][6] between 1687 and 1700. During that same period, she won the poetry prize of the Académie des Jeux Florals de Toulouse three times (1696, 1697, 1698)[7]
