You might be interested in the first English-language biography of her: Marie Marvingt, Fiancée of Danger (Rosalie Maggio, McFarland Publishing, 2019, 302 pp.). Midwest Book Review said it's "deftly written and inherently fascinating ... unreservedly recommended." But you can get a free glimpse of her at www.mariemarvingt.com or, if you prefer French (!), at www.mariemarvingt.fr. Marie was like to be as well known today as she was back in her heyday! Best to y'all!
