French reformer Jenny P. d'H�ricourt wrote "Madame Rose,"
a short biography of women's rights reformer Ernestine L. Rose, after
Rose's visit to France in 1856.

While the record of Rose's more than thirty years of activism in
American reform movements can be found in convention proceedings and
contemporary newspaper reports of her lectures, little information
about her childhood in Poland or her young adult years in Prussia
and England is available. Even her early years in the United
States, prior to an organized women's rights movement in 1850, are
sparsely documented."Madame Rose" is an important resource for Rose's
biographers and other scholars because it contains personal information
not available elsewhere. Before this publication, only abbreviated
English-language versions have been available. A translation of the
original French text with accompanying commentary is offered here as
source material for scholars.
