Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, often referred to as Madame de Villeneuve, was a French author born in 1685 and best known for her original version of the fairy tale "La Belle et la Bête" (Beauty and the Beast). Her work laid the foundation for one of the most enduring and beloved stories in Western literature, which has been adapted into numerous films, plays, and other media over the centuries.

Madame de Villeneuve was born into a noble family in La Rochelle, France. She married Jean-Baptiste Gaalon de Villeneuve, a member of the French aristocracy, but the marriage was reportedly unhappy and ended in separation. Following her separation, she moved to Paris, where she became part of the literary circles of the time. It was in this vibrant cultural milieu that she penned her most famous work.

Her version of "Beauty and the Beast" was first published in 1740 as part of a collection of stories titled "La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins" (The Young American and Marine Tales). Villeneuve's narrative was more elaborate and complex than the later, more widely known version by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, which was published in 1756. Villeneuve's tale included extensive backstories for both Beauty and the Beast, as well as various subplots and additional characters, providing a richer and more intricate storytelling experience.

In addition to "Beauty and the Beast," Madame de Villeneuve wrote several other works, including novels and fairy tales, though none achieved the same level of fame. Her contributions to literature, particularly in the realm of fairy tales, have been recognized for their imaginative depth and narrative sophistication.

Madame de Villeneuve passed away in 1755, but her legacy endures through the timeless appeal of "Beauty and the Beast." Her work continues to be studied and appreciated for its literary merit and its significant impact on the fairy tale genre.
