thumb|Photographs by Henri Manuel (1935) Titaÿna (real name Élisabeth Sauvy, 22 November 1897 — 16 October 1966) was a French journalist and writer. She is considered one of the most significant female reporters in the first half of the 20th century.
==Biography== Sauvy was born in 1897 in Villeneuve-de-la-Raho in southern France. She was an older sister of the sociologist Alfred Sauvy. She moved to Paris, got married and very quickly divorced. She also started writing. The origin of the penname Titaÿna, which Sauvy was using, is unclear, though it is often hypothesized to originate from Catalan legends.
