Ernestine Chassebœuf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernestine Chassebœuf (née Troispoux) (1910-2005) was a French letter writer.
[edit] Life
Ernestine Chassebœuf spent all her life in Anjou. Born in Botz-en-Mauges, she married in 1928 Edmond Chassebœuf, who died in 1970. She stayed most of her life in Coutures, in Maine-et-Loire, where she took care of her garden and her chickens.
In 1999, she began to write letters denouncing in a truculent and naive style inefficiencies and inequities. Alain Rémond and fr:Jean Lebrun enable her to gain a little notoriety. Especially at the occasion of the debate about free lending of books in libraries, wrote to all the writers who had signed the petition demanding the withdrawal of their books in public libraries until an agreement has been found. After this start, she continued to write to people in the economic, political, and literary world or in the media, her common sense and frankness highlighted inconsistencies and mediocrity in French society.
