Maria Johanna Elselina Versfelt (27 September 1776 – 19 May 1845), also known as Ida Saint-Elme, Elzelina van Aylde Jonghe, and by her pseudonym La Contemporaine, was a Dutch courtesan and author celebrated for her tumultuous life alongside French generals of Grande Armée. Her travels through Italy, Egypt and the Mediterranean are chronicled in her highly popular yet largely fictitious and unreliable memoirs. Additionally, she is credited with "possibly the earliest satirical magazine produced by a woman." (From Wikipedia)
