Wilhelmine Henriksen

Wilhelmine Henriksen is a fictional character, a writer and journalist introduced in Wes Anderson's 2021 film *The French Dispatch*. She appears as one of the key figures on the editorial staff of the Sunday supplement to the *Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun*, based in the French city of Ennui-sur-Blasé. Her career unfolds entirely within the publication, where her articles contribute to forming the characteristic mosaic of reports on French life, culture, and eccentricities, filtered through a rigorously American journalistic style. Although the film does not dedicate a specific chapter to her work or mention any individual accolades, her character is essential in defining the magazine's intellectual and collaborative environment. Together with her colleagues, she represents the archetype of the expatriate correspondent, whose collective work established *The French Dispatch* as a cult publication under the guidance of its editor, Arthur Howitzer Jr.
