At the end of the war, she actively contributed to the reconstruction of the movement.

Biography

Born in Roubia, in the Aude region, around 1880, Paule Fabre was a seamstress and laundress. In 1919, she returned to France from Cuba with her partner Alphonse Tricheux and their three children. In the 1920s, Tricheux joined the Toulouse anarchist group Bien-être et Liberté.

She participated in mobilizations advocating for the release of Sacco and Vanzetti, carrying placards at the head of marches. On the placards she held, she wrote: “Free the victims of international capitalism! Long live anarchy, freedom for political prisoners, save Sacco and Vanzetti.” Tricheux also sold Le Libertaire at the Toulouse market every Sunday morning.
