Pauline Julien, CQ (May 23, 1928 – October 1, 1998), nicknamed "La Renarde",[1] was a singer, songwriter, actress, feminist activist and Quebec sovereigntist.[2]

Born in Trois-Rivières, Quebec,[3] Julien was the companion of the poet and Québec provincial MLA Gérald Godin, another Trifluvian and sovereignist. Julien performed pro-independence songs in Montréal clubs as early as 1964. In 1965 she hosted the CBC television series Mon pays, mes chansons.[4] At the CBC she also collaborated and recorded with pianist Herbert Ruff,[5] and performed on the program On Stage.[6]

In 1970, Julien and Godin were arrested during the October Crisis and were released eight days later without charge.[3]

In 1994, France decorated her with the title Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres. Julien was made a Chevalière de l'Ordre national du Québec.[7]

Julien developed aphasia.[3] She died in early October 1998 in Montreal, from suicide.[3]

She was the subject of the 2018 documentary film Pauline Julien, Intimate and Political (Pauline Julien, intime et politique).[8]
