Biografia breu
Sophie Ulliac-Trémadeure was born in the Breton port city of Lorient, the daughter of Henry Ulliac, a military engineer, and his wife Marie Guyardet. When she was a small child, the family moved to Paris. In 1809, her father entered the service of Jerome Bonaparte, then king of Westphalia, and brought Sophie and her mother to join him in Cassel, Germany. Following the defeat of the Emperor Napoleon's army, they returned to Paris in deep financial trouble. Alexandre Duval, a playwright and librettist friend of the family, invited Sophie to work for him as a translator of German authors. She began doing so in 1816 under several pseudonyms. From 1821, she devoted herself to writing her own novels and short stories, mostly aimed at young readers, as well as treatises on education. She produced more than 50 books, originally under various pseudonyms and eventually under her real name. She collaborated with Fanny Richomme and wrote for the Journal des femmes, and with Eugénie Niboyet on Conseiller des femmes. From 1835 to 1855, she edited the Journal des jeunes Personnese. In 1861, shortly before her death, she published her autobiography, Souvenirs d’une vieille femme (Memories of an Old Woman).
