Adrienne Chailliey

Adrienne Chailliey (1860 – after 1900), also known as Marie Puget, was a French embroiderer, singer, anarchist and feminist activist. She is best known for her artistic career as well as her probable involvement in the Carmaux-Bons Enfants bombing and the Ère des attentats (1892–1894). She was also engaged in first-wave feminist activism.

After a childhood marked by abuse and confinement in several boarding schools, Chailliey managed to escape and reach Paris in the 1880s. Becoming politically active in anarchist and feminist circles, she began performing and singing anarchist songs in the capital. As she gradually gained prominence as an anarchist artist and mingled with other artists, she met Émile Henry, whom she may have sheltered in early 1892. Chailliey, Henry, and other anarchist militants were likely responsible for the Carmaux-Bons Enfants bombing on 8 November 1892, targeting the headquarters of the Compagnie minière de Carmaux. She likely placed the bomb while Henry stood watch outside. The explosion killed four police officers and a company employee.

She managed to evade French justice following Henry’s arrest and execution. At the same time, Chailliey remained involved in feminist activism and spoke for women's rights at feminist gatherings. After one of these meetings, she was assaulted by two men dissatisfied with her speech as she left the venue. She died sometime in the 20th century, as police records continued to list her as an anarchist after 1900.
