Biography
Marie-Rachel Jourdan was born 6 January 1859, in Royan. She contributed to feminist journals such as La Fronde, founded by Marguerite Durand.
Wife of the feminist writer Léopold Lacour, she shared his passion for mixed-gender education. She spoke at the International Congress of Women of 1896, in Paris, chaired by Marie Bonnevial, describing the state of mixed-gender schools in Europe, and responding to the arguments of their opponents.
In Literature (Harper and Brothers, 1898), Léopold-Lacour's name was included on a list of potential members if an Academy of Ladies was formed in Paris, several meetings already having been held to deliberate on the scheme. She participated in the planning committee of the "Condition et Droits" Congress, September 1900.
