[Comic] Louise Michel - 2

Louise Michel is amazed by the beauty of this land of exil and is immediately interested in the culture and manners of the Canacs, supporting them during their revolt in 1878. After five years of detention, she can settle in Noumea where she resumes her activities as a school teacher. In 1880, the General Amnesty of the Communards allowed her to return to France.

Until her death, Louise will be, for twenty-five years, a tireless activist.

She travels through France, England, Holland and Belgium to give thousands of lectures, interspersed with periods of imprisonment.

In January 1888, during a public meeting in Le Havre, a man attempts to kill her by firing two shots of a revolver. She is hit in the temple and doctors will never be able to remove the bullet that remains lodged near her brain.

During a lecture tour in the Alps, she caught cold and died of pneumonia in Marseille on January 9, 1905. Her body was brought back to Paris, and on January 22, 1905, a huge crowd followed her coffin through the streets to the cemetery in Levallois-Perret, bordering the XVIIIe arr. of Paris.
