Charlotte Corday (27 July 1768 – 17 July 1793) was a figure of the French Revolution. She was a minor noblewoman and a member of the Girondists of the National Convention, and in 1793 she planned to assassinate the anti-Girondist pamphleteer Jean-Paul Marat to end his persecution of the Girondists. Corday pretended that she was going to rat out her fellow Girondists and entered a room where Marat sat in his medicinal bath, stabbing him with a kitchen knife and killing him. Arno Dorian later investigated Marat's death and Corday was executed by guillotine on 17 July 1793.
