Sophie de Choiseul-Gouffier née Zofia Tyzenhauz (Lithuanian: Sofija Tyzenhauzaitė de Šuazel-Gufjė; 1790 – 28 May 1878) was a Polish-Lithuanian novelist, writing in French. She was a daughter of Ignacy Tyzenhauz and Marianna Przezdziecka,[1]. In 1818, she married Antoine Louis Octave de Choiseul-Gouffier, a French count, whose father emigrated during the French Revolution, and owner of Plateliai manor. She became one of the first female writers in Lithuania, after Ursule Radziwill and Ona Radziwill-Mostowska. Her novels, mostly historical, are inspired from the lives of women in contemporary Lithuanian nobility. She was buried on cemetery des Champeaux in Montmorency.[1]
