Charlotte Guillard (c. 1485 - 1557) was an early printer who directed the Soleil d'Or printing house in Paris.[1] Annie Parent described her as a "notability of the Rue Saint-Jacques", the street in the Latin Quarter where the shop was located.[2] Twice married and twice widowed, Guillard operated her own publishing imprint for theological books during her two periods of widowhood,[3] that is to say in 1519–20, and in 1537–57. While she was not the first woman printer, succeeding both Anna Rugerin of Augsburg (1484) and Anna Fabri of Stockholm (1496), she was the first woman printer with a significantly known career.
