Jean-Baptiste Pellissier, full name Pierre Jean-Baptiste Pellissier de Labatut, (22 February 1788 – 11 December 1856) was a 19th-century French playwright and journalist. The School for Wives
The School for Wives (French: "L'école des femmes" ; ] ) is a theatrical comedy written by the seventeenth century French playwright Molière and considered by some critics to be one of his finest achievements.
 It was first staged at the Palais Royal theatre on 26 December 1662 for the brother of the King.
 The play depicts a character who is so intimidated by femininity that he resolves to marry his young, naïve ward and proceeds to make clumsy advances to this purpose.
 It raised some outcry from the public, which seems to have recognized Molière as a bold playwright who would not be afraid to write about controversial issues.
 In June 1663, the playwright cunningly responded to the uproar against this play with another piece entitled "La Critique de L'École des femmes", in which he provided some explanation for his unique style of comedy.
 A musical adaptation entitled "The Amorous Flea" was staged off-Broadway in 1964.
