She was born in Paris. Her volume of poems, Fleurs d’avril (1882), was crowned by the Académie française. She also wrote some powerful novels dealing with contemporary life:
Le Mariage de Gabrielle (1882)
Un Mysterieux Amour (1892), with a series of philosophical sonnets.

Her poems were collected in 1895. She published in 1905 a book on the economic status of women: L’Evolution feminine; and in 1891-1893 a two volume translation of the works of Lord Byron, which was awarded another prize by the Académie.
Her Masque d’amour, a five-act play based on her novel (1904) of the same name, was produced at the Theatre Sarah Bernhardt in 1905. She received the ribbon of the Legion of Honor in 1900, and the Prix Yitet from the French Academy in 1905. She married in 1904 Henry Lapauze, a well-known writer on art.
