Solange Chalvin (March 20, 1932 – October 20, 2024) was a Canadian writer and journalist. She was one of the first women journalists at Le Devoir and co-authored Comment on abrutit nos enfants (1962), a significant text in the Quiet Revolution. She was an advocate for education reform and francization in Quebec.

Career

Chalvin initially trained to become a secretary and began working at Le Devoir, a French-language newspaper in Montreal, in 1951 when she was twenty years old. She eventually began publishing columns under the guidance of editor-in-chief André Laurendeau, making her one of the first female journalists at the publication. In 1963, Chalvin began editing the newspaper's women's page, which she renamed "L'univers féminin." Chalvin's work in the column primarily focused on the social issues affecting women.

In 1962, Chalvin and her husband Michel co-authored the book Comment on abrutit nos enfants, a critique of the religious textbooks used in Quebec public schools, which they viewed as racist and sexist. The text became influential in the Quiet Revolution in Quebec and was praised by sociologist Guy Rocher, although at the time of its publication it was criticized by religious groups such as the Clerics of Saint Viator, the Sisters of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, and the De La Salle Brothers.

Chalvin later began working for the government of Quebec as a public servant. She was a manager of the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) and was responsible for the regional offices of the OQLF from 1979 to 1983.
