Jeanne Françoise Morand, known as Jane Morand, born in Bey on August 17, 1887, and died on February 26, 1969, in Fitz-James, was a French seamstress, housekeeper, and individualist anarchist activist. A prominent figure in the French anarchist movement, she organized the Comité Féminin in the 1910s, one of the leading anarcho-feminist and feminist organizations of the time. Morand is also known for, along with Henriette Tilly, helping to spread feminism within anarchist circles and influencing Le Cinéma du Peuple in the decision to produce Les Misères de l’aiguille, the first feminist film in history.
Sentenced to life imprisonment for aiding other anarchists in fleeing France during World War I, she was released in 1924. By 1932, she began to exhibit signs of mental illness, including paranoid delusions, and ended her life in a miserable state, moving between various care institutions.
