Virginia Monier
Virginia Monier was an American stage actress and theatre manager. She was one of the first female theatre managers in the United States. She was the founder-manager of the "Miss Monier's Dramatic Saloon" in New York City in 1838, and manager of the Washington Theatre in Washington, D.C. in 1840–1841, which made her a pioneer in a period when it was still very unusual for women to manage and found theatres in the USA. She was also a successful actress in the 1840s, and the star attraction of the National Theatre (Washington) in 1836–41. Virginia Monier
