Gabrielle Anne Cisterne de Courtiras, vicomtesse de Saint-Mars (2 August 1804 – 11 September 1872), pen name Countess Dash, was a prolific French writer.
Biography
Gabrielle de Courtiras was a daughter of M. de Courtiras, and early married the Marquis de Saint-Mars. After the loss of her fortune, she took to writing. On her remarking that she wished to write under a pseudonym, that of her favorite dog, “Dash,” was suggested, which she adopted.[1]
In many years she produced five to six novels. Her themes are mainly from the beau monde era in France and deal with themes of romantic love.
