Henriette Saint Marc died some 217 years ago in 1802. Although she was popular as a prostitute, she gained more popularity after she became a strong ally of Haitian revolutionaries by using her influence on the French and access to their plans, weapons and secrets to support Toussaint L’Ouverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines and the War of Independence.
Born to a slave mother who raised her after being neglected by the white official who impregnated her, Henriette grew from humble beginnings with the advantage of being a mulato woman which came with the freedom to do as she pleases.
