Short biography
Marie-Madeleine Pioche de La Vergne married François Motier, comte de La Fayette in 1655, and had two children. She went to court and formed her own successful salon. Among her famous acquaintances was Princess Henrietta of England, the future duchesse d'Orleans, who asked Madame de La Fayette to write her biography. Madame La Fayette published many of her works anonymously, including her most famous novel, La Princesse de Clèves, which appeared in 1678. It is considered the first true French novel and a prototype of the early psychological novel.
