Andrée Ferretti

Andrée Ferretti

Andrée Ferretti (born in 1935) is a Canadian political figure and author. She was the vice president of the Rassemblement pour l'indépendance nationale (RIN), a Quebec independence movement and later political party of the 1960s. Ferretti was one of the early militants of the contemporary Quebec independence movement.

Biography

Ferretti was born in Montreal in a family of humble wealth. She began her commitment for Quebec independence in 1958. She joined the Rassemblement pour l'indépendance nationale and became its vice-president. She was of the far left wing of the party and preferred social agitation to electoral means. After a confrontation with then-president of the RIN Pierre Bourgault, she resigned from the party and founded the short-lived Front de libération populaire (FLP) in March 1968. Bourgault asked his followers to join René Lévesque's then-fledging Parti Québécois using entryism, thus uniting the "indépendantiste" forces.

During the 1970s, she published a number of writings in favour of independence within "Le Devoir" and "Parti pris", while studying philosophy. In 1979, the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society made her Patriot of the Year. She directed, with Gaston Miron, a compilation of writings for independence, from the Patriotes to modern Sovereigntism, ending in 1992. After Miron's passing, she directed the second volume regarding the time between 1992 and 2003. She also published three novels at the VLB éditeur and Typo publishing houses.
