Biography

Joséphine-Blanche Bouchet was born in La Roche-sur-Yon (Vendée), 1833.[2] Her parents were Louis (1785-1866), a doctor of medicine, and Marie Anne Julienne Perrine (Langlais) Bouchet (1790-1859).

After her marriage on 14 November 1859 to Louis-Casimir Colomb (1834-1890), an academic, illustrator and writer, she signed her works "Mme J. Colomb" or "Mme Louis-Casimir Colomb". Her books for young people were published in the "Bibliothèque des écoles et des familles" (Library of schools and families) collection of Hachette editions in Paris.[3] Instead of featuring the usual orphans or unfortunate teenagers common in late 19th century works of juvenile fiction, Colomb constructed characters with minds of their own who often intelligently challenged adult authority. She also published Les Béatitudes, a versified version of the Beatitudes, with music by César Franck.[2]

Joséphine Colomb died in Villerville (Calvados), 1892.[2]

Awards

The Académie Française awarded her the Montyon Prize in 1875, for La fille de Carilès; and the Jules-Favre Prize in 1893, for Ensemble de son œuvre.[1]
