Raymonde Vincent
Raymonde Vincent (1908, Luant, Indre – 1985, Saint-Chartier, Indre) was a French woman of letters. She won the Prix Femina in 1937 for her novel '. Biography Originally from Berry, Raymonde Vincent was born near Châteauroux in a family of farmers. When her mother died, she held the house of her father, a métayer operating a farm belonging to a castle. Catechism aside, her instruction was neglected. At seventeen she left for Paris where she found a job in commerce. She met Albert Béguin (1901–1957), an academic who became a renowned essayist, critic and translator, whom she married in 1929. In a few years, Raymonde Vincent caught up the deficiency of her studies and took interest in painting, music and theater. However, it was the nostalgia of her peasant past that inspired her most outstanding work: ''Campagne'' for which the Prix Femina was awarded to her in 1937.
