Educator, poet, dramatist, novelist, movement historian, orator and agitator Louise Michel rose to prominence during the Paris Commune (1870-71) and was one of some 4,500 Communards deported to New Caledonia in 1872. Michel acquired a commanding public profile in the last decades of the nineteenth century - her mere presence at a meeting was enough to guarantee a large and enthusiastic audience and a 50,000 crowd turned out for her funeral in 1905.
