French socialite and assassin. She married French Prime Minister Joseph Caillaux after he divorced his first wife.
In 1914 she murdered journalist Gaston Calmette , who was very critical of her husband, by shooting him in the chest. This was particularly shocking since she was such a elegant and sophisitictaed lady.
Her trial was the central focus of French life in the summer of 1914. While the feminist movement was just beginning, it turned out that male sexism was what helped her during her trial. She was acquitted based on the idea that women were weaker and more emotionally unstable as opposed to men.
The trial was the inspiration for a French television movie called "L'Affaire Caillaux" and a 1992 book titled The Trial of Madame Caillaux by Edward Berenson.
