In Paris suburb. She (Mme Bonheur) was a famous woman artist- and the first woman appointed to the Legion of Honor ( Civil division) This was done in l894/ Many people think that MMe Sarah Bernhardt was first female honoree. This is not true. Bernhardt"s date of rank was l9l4 . by the way, regardless of marital status all Female members of the Legion of Honor are styled MME/ so be it.
