SPEAKER_03: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Womanica. This month we're highlighting ragers, women who use their anger, often righteous though not always, to accomplish extraordinary things. Today we're talking about the events surrounding one day, March 16th, 1914. On that day, a woman wearing an elegant gown and a fur coat strode into the office of Le Figaro, a French newspaper. She was there to see the newspaper's editor, Gaston Calmette. When she entered his office, she asked him if he knew why she was there. "'Not at all, madam,' he said. And then the woman pulled a gun from the sleeve of her coat and fired six shots, killing Calmette." In the ensuing months, Calmette's death ignited the French press and caused chaos on the French political scene. And at the center of it all was his murderer, the woman in the fur coat, Henriette Caillot. Henriette Caillot grew up as a member of the French bourgeois. At 19 years old, she married Leo Clertie, an established writer. But 13 years into her marriage, Henriette began having an affair with Joseph Caillot, a rising star in the French government. A year later, she divorced her husband. Henriette wanted to marry Joseph. That was complicated by the fact that Joseph also had a wife named Bert. When Bert discovered Joseph's illicit love letters to Henriette, she was furious. She told Joseph that they should get divorced right away. This was a threat. Joseph was in the middle of a heated election campaign, and Bert knew that a messy divorce would turn constituents against him. Joseph knew this too. He begged Bert not to divorce him. Bert agreed on the condition that he stop seeing Henriette. So Joseph stayed with Bert right up until he'd been safely reelected. He then left Bert and married Henriette. Joseph and Henriette had a charmed marriage. They were happy and enormously wealthy. Henriette became a known woman of society, regularly attending parties and events. For a brief period, Joseph even served as prime minister. But Joseph's political career tanked after the newspaper, Le Figaro, reported that he had used his political influence to make a fortune in the German stock market. Suddenly, Henriette was treated with hostility at parties. People called her husband a thief. The newspaper, Le Figaro, published more than 100 articles and cartoons disparaging Joseph. But the straw that broke the camel's back was when Le Figaro published an old private love letter that Joseph had written to his first wife, Bert. The letter was politically and personally incriminating. Le Figaro hinted that more of Joseph's private letters were gonna come out. Henriette worried that soon, the whole of France would be reading Joseph's private letters to her, tarnishing her reputation beyond repair. She decided something had to be done. So on the morning of March 16th, 1914, she donned a fur coat, tucked a gun to the sleeve, and paid a visit to Le Figaro's office, where she shot the newspaper's editor, Gaston Calmet. After hearing the gunshots, the newspaper's writers rushed into Gaston's office and held Henriette down. When the police arrived, Henriette leaned into her privileged status as a well-known society woman. She refused to drive with them in the police wagon. Instead, she was chauffeured to the police station in her own car. In the months leading up to her trial, Henriette enjoyed a private prison cell, which was kept heated. She ate dinners in the prison director's office with her husband and had a maid. Then, on July 20th, 1914, Henriette's trial began. She told the all-male jury she hadn't meant to kill Gaston, only scare him. But when she got into the office, she was swept up by emotions too powerful to control. The French press couldn't get enough of Henriette. It even took precedence over the news of mounting international tensions. World War I broke out just eight days after Henriette's trial started. But instead of writing about the European conflict, journalists and photographers were crowding Henriette's courtroom. By the end of the trial, Henriette had successfully painted herself as a helpless woman prone to fits of hysteria. After just an hour of deliberation, the jury found Henriette not guilty. Of course, it probably helped that all the jurors were politically aligned with Joseph and that the judge was Joseph's close friend. Henriette was released, but her life never went back to the way it was before. The trial had soured Henriette's marriage, and either by accident or on purpose, Henriette had killed Joseph's political career at the same time she killed Gaston. What Henriette portrayed to the court as an act of love and righteous anger, she later came to see as a moment of finality in her relationship. Many years after the trial, a friend asked Henriette what she felt as she watched Gaston fall to the ground. She paused and then answered that she felt that she did not love her husband. Henriette died in 1943. All month we're talking about ragers. For more information, check us out on Facebook and Instagram at Wamanica Podcast.
