Ida Faubert

Ida Faubert

Ida Faubert (Christian first name Gertrude Florentine Félicitée Ida) was a Haitian writer. She was a complex literary figure. Bicultural, biracial, and privileged, she neither easily fit socially-prescribed categories for women of color in France or Haiti nor conformed to them. A deft writer and socialite in both Port-au-Prince and Paris, she promoted and participated in the movements of Haitian writers and literature in Haiti and France.
