Louise
Labé, (c. 1520 or 1522, Lyon – April 25, 1566, Parcieux), also identified as La
Belle Cordière, (The Beautiful Ropemaker), was a female French poet of the
Renaissance, born at Lyon, the daughter of a rich ropemaker, Pierre Charly, and
his second wife, Etiennette Roybet. A recent book has argued that the poetry
ascribed to her was a feminist creation of a number of French male poets of the
Renaissance.
