Anne-Josèphe Théroigne de Méricourt (born Anne-Josèphe Terwagne; 13 August 1762 – 9 June 1817) was a Belgian singer, orator and organizer in the French Revolution. She was born at Marcourt (Prince-Bishopric of Liège)(from which comes the appellation "de Méricourt"), a small town in Luxembourg province, in modern Belgium. She was active in the French Revolution and worked within the Austrian Low Countries to also foster revolution. She was held in an Austrian prison from 1791-1792 for being an agent provocateur in Belgium. She was a cofounder of a Parisian revolutionary club and had warrants for her arrest issued in France for her alleged participation in the October Days uprising. She is known both for her portrayal in the French Revolutionary press and for her subsequent mental breakdown and institutionalization.
