Madeleine de Verchères was important to New France because of her heroic act the 27th October 1692.
The castle which she lived in was called "Fort de Verchères" which was always attacked by the Iroquois. That day they ambushed the people outside working by hiding in the bushes. One of them grabbed Madeleine by her scarf, but she took it off right away and went in the castle. She defended the castle during 8 days with only her brothers and sisters, a very old man (apparently LaViolette) and only two soldiers.
I wouldn't go any further but you can always check this site which describes it very well!
It's in french so if you don't understand it you can always check in Wikipedia also! I checked and it's pretty much the same!
