Julie Rodde

Marie Julie Rodde (* 1819 ; † 1900 in Paris ) was a French journalist and writer.

Rodde was the daughter of the editor Victoire Rodde (1792-1835).

Due to her father's work as editor (including the newspaper "Bon sens") Rodde was familiar with this work and began to write at an early age. In 1841 she married the writer François Fertiault . She had a son with him, who died in childhood (1856).

Rodde published under her maiden name throughout her life. In addition to some of her own books, she also wrote two together with her husband François Fertiault. Most of her literary work was more of a journalistic nature. She worked for newspapers and magazines such as “Le conseiller des dames”, “Joie du foyer”, “Journal des jeunes filles”, “Les modes de l'enfance” and “Revue de la mode ”.

She was also acquainted with some of the Parnassians through her husband's work ; but she was neither a member of this literary association, nor was she in any literary connection with it.
