The 2010 biography of Baret by Glynis Ridley, "The Discovery of Jeanne Baret", brought Baret to the attention of a wider audience and helped to overturn some of the old misconceptions about her life. However, Ridley's biography has also been highly criticized by some reviewers for its reliance on improbable chains of speculation that are not corroborated by any other primary or secondary sources. New research by French researchers has provided clearer archival information on Jeanne Barret's life as well as a new biography by Danielle Clode, "In Search of the Woman who Sailed the World", published in 2020. On July 27, 2020, Google celebrated her 280th birthday with a Google Doodle.
