description: "Marie Vieux-Chauvet was a Haitian novelist, playwright, and short story writer. Her novels are considered by translator Myriam J. A. Chancy to be \"by far the best-known works by a Haitian woman novelist\". Born in Port-au-Prince, Chauvet grew up during the United States occupation of Haiti. She began writing at the age of 10 and attended the Annex of the Upper School for Teachers, receiving her certificate in 1933. During the late 1940s, she wrote several plays, and during the 1950s, she wrote her first three novels. She became involved with the literary collective Haïti Littéraire during the early 1960s."
