She studied at the University of Sherbrooke and the Université de Montréal, where she earned a Ph.D. in literature. Her thesis was concerned with the new Quebec women’s poetry. From 1981 to 1984, she was part of the Remue-Ménage collective, where she was responsible for manuscript development. In 1988, she joined the editorial board of the magazine Voix et Images: Littérature québécoise, which she directed from 1995 to 1998.

Louise Dupré has participated in many discussions, colloquia, round tables and radio shows featuring women’s writing. She has published poetry, fiction and literary criticism in many international and Quebec magazines and anthologies. Some of her writing has been translated into other languages. Dupré is a professor of literature at the University of Quebec at Montreal and director of the Rencontre québécoise internationale des écrivains, held yearly by the Académie des lettres du Québec.

The author of some 15 titles, Louise Dupré has won several prizes, including the Prix Alfred-Desrochers for her book La peau familière in 1984, the Grand Prix de poésie du Festival international de Trois-Rivières for Noir déjà in 1993, the Prix Ringuet de l’Académie des lettres du Québec and the Prix de la Société des écrivains canadiens for her novel La memoria in 1997. Her play Tout comme elle won the critics’ prize 2005-2006 from the Association québécoise des critiques de théâtre, Montreal section. In 1999, she was admitted to the Académie des lettres du Québec and, in 2002, to the Académie des lettres et des sciences humaines de la Société royale du Canada.
