Life
[edit]Vérone was born on June 20, 1874, in Paris, France.[1] She served as secretary at the International Congress of Freethinkers when she was 15 years old. In 1903 she became the first woman to plead before French appeals court.[4] She supported herself as a teacher, but was dismissed for her political opinions and unionizing activities.[5][1]
Vérone became a reporter for the French feminist newspaper La Fronde, which was published by Marguerite Durand.[5] Her journalism on legal and judicial matters led to her interest in becoming a lawyer. In 1907 Vérone, a single mother of two, was admitted to the French bar.[1]
Vérone served as president of Ligue Française pour le Droit des Femmes for 20 years.[3][4]
Vérone died on May 24, 1938, in Paris.[1]
