Emma Bullet (1842 – January 31, 1914) was a French-born American journalist, the Paris correspondent of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle for 32 years. She also taught school in Ohio, and was a canteen worker during the Franco-Prussian War.
Early life and education
Bullet was born in Belfort, France and moved the United States at age 7. Her mother was a French teacher.[1]
Career
Bullet taught French at the Ohio Female College in Cincinnati and at a school in Paris as a young woman.[1] She and her mother ran a "coffee shack" on Montmartre during the Franco-Prussian War.[2]
From 1879 to 1882 she wrote for the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.[1] In 1882 she became the "graphic, unconventional, breezy" Paris correspondent of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle,[3] a role she held for 32 years.[4] She reported on Parisian fashion,[5] and from Queen Victoria's jubilee in London in 1897.[6] In 1907, the newspaper published her autobiography in serial format,[7] and in 1908 published it as a special pamphlet, in observance of her 30th year as their Paris correspondent,[8] and she was honored at a dinner in Brooklyn by her colleagues at the Eagle.[9] She was a member of the Paris Press Club.[10]
Bullet's home in Paris was described as a weekly "salon" frequented by "the leaders in the world of literature, art, and music in Paris", especially Americans such as sculptor Frederick William MacMonnies and opera singer Emma Nevada.[10]

Personal life
Bullet was in the United States for several months in 1908, and stayed with her sister Marie in Maine, New York, and Ohio.[8][12] Her sister was married to music critic Henry Edward Krehbiel.[1][13] She died in 1914, at her home in Paris, in her seventies.[1][14] "She combined an understanding of America and the Americans with a sureness and keenness of perception which made her letters from the French capital authoritative, comprehensive and interesting," commented the Brooklyn Times at the time of her death.[10]
