Louise Augustine Gleizes (born August 21, 1861), known as Augustine or A, was a very famous woman in the 1800s, due to neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot publicly exhibiting her symptoms as a hysteria patient while she was held at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris.[1]

[2] She had worked as a kitchen maid, and was sent to the hospital at age fourteen on October 21, 1875.[2][1] Prior to that, she had been in a nurse's care in early life, and after the nurse in a religious boarding school where she suffered corporal punishment.[1] She was molested when she was ten years old, and she was raped by her mother’s lover when she was thirteen.[1]

While she was a patient of the Salpêtrière Hospital, Charcot, who treated her, would hypnotize her so she would demonstrate her supposed hysteria.[2] Sigmund Freud and Edgar Degas, among others, came to see this.[2] Photographs were taken of her then, which became famous.[2] She eventually did not allow Charcot to hypnotize her, and not long after this, in 1880, she escaped the hospital, disguised in men's clothes.[3] After that she was never seen again.[2] Charcot's work with her made him more famous, and he remains best remembered for it.[2]

A 2012 French historical drama film, Augustine, is about a love affair between Charcot and Gleizes.[2][3][4][5] In reality, there was no sexual relationship between her and Charcot.[3]

The play Photographs of A by Daniel Keene, about her, was performed in 2014 at Melbourne Theatre Company’s NEON Festival.[2][6]

Further reading about her

Volume 2 of the Iconographie Photographique de La Salpêtrière, published in 1878.
