Jeanne Millerand

Jeanne Millerand (May 7, 1864 – October 23, 1950) was a first lady of France in 1920-1924. She was married to President Alexandre Millerand.

Jeanne Millerand was admired for her representational qualities. She was old fashioned and conventional; she forbade her children from listening to modern music, and despite the new fashion of the 1920s, she continued to dress in older fashions, in a corset, long skirts, and big hats.
