Rodolphine Young
Died in 1932
Rodolphine Young was the daughter of Ralph Young and of a woman from Réunion, Marie Antoinette Payet, and on her father's side descended from a Dutch ancestor. A schoolteacher, she taught at Anse Boileau, on the island of Mahé, then at Baie Sainte-Anne, on the island of Praslin, where she died in 1932. She is also the author of a catechism in Creole, which has not been found. Her publishers regard her as the first Creole-language writer of the Seychelles.
