proved poisonous both to Poinso-Chapuis's ministerial career and to the government of Schuman, who was shortly afterward replaced as Prime Minister (albeit only for a month) by the Radical André Marie. Poinso-Chapuis too, although she had never formally signed the decree, lost her post over the affair, being replaced by Pierre Schneiter. Poinso-Chapuis nonetheless remained a member of the National Assembly, winning reelection in the 1951 elections. For the remainder of her career she voted largely with the MRP party line. Personal life Poinso-Chapuis was married in 1937 to Henri Poinso, a fellow lawyer, with whom she had two children. Legacy Several places are named after her, including a street in Poitiers and a technical high-school in Marseille.
