Marie-Louise Jacotin, 1905 — 1972, was a French professor of mathematics in university.
photographed with her husband Paul Dubreil (146)
who was also a mathematician
Paul and Marie-Louise met in the Ecole Normale Supérieure (the top level in France for studies of mathematics). They get married in 1930. The photo was taken in 1931. A tragedy occured in the life of the couple when their unique daughter died in 1970, aged of 34 years. M.L. Jacotin died two years later probably as consequence of an accident in car.
The feminist struggle of the first half of the XXth century appears in the fact that M.L. Jacotin dared, after her marriage, to sign Dubreil-Jacotin instead of solely Dubreil.
