  • Camille Lessard-Bissonette, 1883-1970, pen name Liane, was a Canadian-American suffragist and writer, who contributed to Le Messager from 1906-1938. Lessard-Bissonette immigrated with her family from Quebec where she was a teacher, and then became a mill worker in Lewiston Maine at the Continental Mill, she then became a columnist for Le Messager, Lewiston. She wrote pro-the-vote for women in 1910-11—two years before the conversation even began in Canada. The Le Messager moved to 223 Lisbon St., Lewiston and where she wrote her articles about suffrage as well as many other issues concerning women’s lives. The Franco-American culture was closed off to the conversation of suffrage both in the Franco-American immigrant group and in the mainstream, and plus, for Camille, due to language barrier, she was not recognized in the early Maine women’s suffrage movement. Lessard-Bissonette is one of 2,200 women listed in The National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites. The National Votes for Women Trail Lessard-Bissonette is the only Franco-American woman in the Online Biographical Dictionary of the Woman Suffrage Movement in the United States, Edited by Thomas Dublin and Kathryn Kish Sklar:Part III: Mainstream Suffragists—National American Woman Suffrage AssociationBiographical Sketch of Camille Lessard Bissonnette, see link below.

Janet Shideler, Ph.D., her biographer, wrote Camille Lessard-Bissonnette: The Quiet Evolution of French-Canadian Immigrants in New England. Lessard-Bissonette's book, Canuck, has been translated into English by Sylvie Charron, Ph.D. and Sue Huseman, Ph.D. (en)
