Timeline

2007

Léro died in September 2007 in Fort-de-France, Martinique and was buried on 25 September after services held at the Bellevue Church. Léro was predeceased by her daughter Cathy Rosier, who died in 2004.

1946

Near the end of the war, de Montaigne met and married Thélus Léro, a mathematician working in Paris who was also from Martinique, and the couple subsequently had three children. Thélus would serve as a Communist senator, representing Martinique in the French Senate from 1946 to 1948, participating with Aimé Césaire and others in the process to reform the former French colonies into Departments of France. Césaire and his wife, Suzanne and the Léros became close friends, often socializing together. During this time, in 1947, Léro attended the congress of the Union of French Women as the delegate for Martinique. Later, when they returned to Martinique, Suzanne and Yva would remain close, working together on women's rights.

1943

In 1943, French authorities in Martinique began to make administrative changes, which resulted in a burgeoning women's movement. Jane Léro, who would become de Montaigne's sister-in-law, played an active part in organizing the movement, and in June 1944 founded the Martiniquais Committee of the Union of Women (French: Comité de l’Union des Femmes de la Martinique), which in 1946 would become the Union of French Women [fr]. Yva was one of the founding members of the organization. During World War II, she worked as a messenger for the French Resistance.

1912

Yva Léro (4 July 1912 – 25 September 2007) was an Afro-Martiniquais writer and painter. She was one of the earliest Antillean writers in Paris preceding the Négritude movement. An ardent feminist, she participated in international congresses and was a co-founder of the Women's Union of Martinique (French: Union des Femmes de la Martinique). Her writing and painting depicted the life and culture of Martinique, evaluating class, gender, and race and the multi-layered society which existed in her Caribbean homeland.

Yva de Montaigne was born on 4 July 1912 in La Trinité, Martinique to Eponine (née Vachier) and Paul de Montaigne. Both of her parents were of mixed heritage, belonged to the island's mulatto class and enjoyed the privileges that her father's employment as a road engineer for the Department of Civil Engineering brought them. He was also the head of the local Freemason Lodge and well-respected in the community. De Montaigne and her nine siblings enjoyed their childhood, but were aware of the poverty of the black workers on the island, which would later feature in her paintings.
