Marie-Geneviève Meunier was a French Discalced Carmelite nun born in Saint-Denis around 1765. A member of the religious community in Compiègne, she lived during the French Revolution, a period when religious orders faced intense persecution. She was part of a group of sixteen sisters who were arrested for their continued religious devotion and perceived opposition to the revolutionary government. She was executed by guillotine in Paris on 17 July 1794 during the Reign of Terror, and she is now recognized as a blessed martyr in the Catholic Church.
