Biography
Charasson was born on 6 January 1884 in Le Havre, France.
During World War I, Charasson joined the Action Française.[2] She wrote for La Croix and L'Action Française on several occasions under the pseudonym Orion,[3] which increased her notoriety in intellectual and masculine nationalist circles.[4] She later became a contributor for La Dépêche tunisienne as a literary critic for twenty-five years.
Upon reading the works of Charles Maurras, Charasson expressed that her belief in God was awakened. She said: "For me, I repeat, encountering the works of Charles Maurras, who is not a believer, was my first step on the road to Damascus."[4] Her marriage in 1920 to the journalist René Johannet led to her eventual conversion to Catholicism.[5] After the condemnation of Action Française by the Pope Pius XI in 1926, Charasson turned away from the movement.[5]
She died on 24 December 1972 on Châteauroux, France.
