Élisabeth Bouissonade (died 9 March 1647) led a women's uprising in Montpellier, France, in the 17th century in a revolt against a tax and the way it was rumored to be borne by women with children. As punishment, by the King's order, she was hanged in the public square in front of Notre-Dame-des-Tables, the main church of the city.
