Antonine Maillet (1929–2025), born in Bouctouche, was one of the foremost figures in Acadian literature. A playwright and novelist, she gave voice to the Acadian people through works such as La Sagouine and Pélagie-la-Charrette, which earned her the Prix Goncourt in 1979 — the first time a Canadian author received the award.

A former professor and researcher, Antonine Maillet remains an essential ambassador for Acadie and the French-speaking world.
