Marguerite Boucicaut
Marguerite Boucicaut, née Guérin (born 3 January 1816 in Verjux, France; died 8 December 1887, Cannes) was a French businesswoman and benefactor. She participated in the creation and prosperity of the first department store, Au Bon Marché, in Paris alongside her husband Aristide Boucicaut. She became a philanthropist later in life.
Early life
Marguerite was raised by a single mother after her birth in Verjux, in Saône et Loire. Her mother died when Marguerite was thirteen, and Marguerite moved to Paris to work for a laundress on the Rue de Bac. Eventually, she built up her savings and opened a creamery. It was here that she met her future husband Aristide.[1]
