La Citoyenne was a French feminist newspaper, founded, funded, and edited by Hubertine Auclert, with the primary aim of promoting women’s suffrage. Auclert, the leader of France’s fledgling suffrage movement from 1880 to her death in 1914, lived in Algeria from 1888-1892. This experience intensified and shaped her already existing interest in the colony. La Citoyenne, published from 1881-1891, was the first French feminist newspaper to address questions of empire. In this issue, Auclert rebuts the charge that women lack interest in politics by broadening its definition to show how women’s function in feeding their families depends on decisions made by legislators. She also accuses the deputy Camille Sée of hypocrisy for voting a budget for Jesuits while attacking women for supporting the clergy. Other articles report on women abroad, including Turkey and Ukraine. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.

Auclert, the leader of France’s fledgling suffrage movement from 1880 to her death in 1914, lived in Algeria from 1888-1892. This experience intensified and shaped her already existing interest in the colony. La Citoyenne, published from 1881-1891, was the first French feminist newspaper to address questions of empire. In this issue, “Le Code Civil” (“The Civil Code”) critiqued the inequitable treatment of women under the marriage laws of the Napoleonic Code. It was written by Draigu, the pseudonym of Léon Girard, a writer and one of Auclert’s supporters and financial backers. He often wrote about women beyond the metropole, using the pseudonyms Draigu or Camille. In “Les femmes d’un Prophète” (“The Wives of a Prophet”), Antonin Lévrier (Auclert’s romantic partner and future husband, and a regular contributor to La Citoyenne) wrote of Mohammed’s (“Mahomet”) life, death, and wives, and about the cities of Mecca (“La Mecque”) and Medina (“Médine”). “Les grands dangers qui menacent la société: L’émancipation des femmes,” (“The Great Dangers Menacing Society: Women’s Emancipation”) satirized men’s fears of women’s emancipation.

Auclert, the leader of France’s fledgling suffrage movement from 1880 to her death in 1914, lived in Algeria from 1888-1892.

This issue includes the fourth and final part of the four-part series, “La femme arabe” (“The Arab Woman”), which compared the lives of Algerian Muslim women to those of French women. This article criticized the absolute separation of the sexes in Algerian culture and lamented the loss of the great ancient Arab culture, in which women played many prominent roles. The piece, “Le vote des femmes en Angleterre” (“Women’s Vote in England”), reported on the women’s suffrage struggle in England. The article, “Les Jésuites rouge” (“The Red Jesuits”), argued against an anarchist accusation that women’s suffragists were all pro-clerical.

This experience intensified and shaped her already existing interest in the colony. La Citoyenne, published from 1881-1891, was the first French feminist newspaper to address questions of empire. This issue includes the article, “La France Africaine” (“African France”), written by Camille (pseudonym of Léon Giraud, who also wrote under Draigu, an acronym of his name). Giraud examined contemporary and historical Algeria, focusing especially on women. He argued that over the centuries Arab society has declined due to the increased subjugation of women. The article also discussed colonization and migration. In “L’Influence Française compromise a Madagascar par l’orgueil masculine” (“France’s Influence in Madagascar is Jeopardized by Masculine Pride”), the pseudonymous writer Liberta reports that France’s Resident General in Madagascar had promised the queen the award of Legion of Honor. However, the chancellors of the Legion of Honor refused to allow the honor to be bestowed on a woman, even a queen whose people considered her a divinity. Liberta accused the Legion of declaring that “masculinity comes before the nation” (“le masculinisme passait avant la patrie”). The article, “Condition de la femme en Russie (Moscovie) avant Pierre le Grand” (“The Condition of Women in Russia [Moscovie] before Peter the Great”), was the last of a multi-part series written by Labussa Slavenko. Slavenko quoted and discussed the writings of the Pope Sylvester (“Sylvestre”), particularly his demands for women’s complete obedience and submission to men.

La Citoyenne was a French feminist newspaper, founded, funded, and edited by Hubertine Auclert, with the primary aim of promoting women’s suffrage. Auclert, the leader of France’s fledgling suffrage movement from 1880 to her death in 1914, lived in Algeria from 1888-1892. This experience intensified and shaped her already existing interest in the colony. La Citoyenne, published from 1881-1891, was the first French feminist newspaper to address questions of empire. This issue includes the article “Le fédération de 1889 et les femmes” (“The Federation of 1889 and Women”) by Hubertine Auclert. She criticized the male governmental authorities for calling for the formation of committees to plan celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, while the ideals of the revolution had been betrayed by keeping women disenfranchised. The piece, “Un college des filles” (“A Girls’ College”), reported that England has four university colleges for women, two at Cambridge and two at Oxford. The short article, “Le cadeau du Shah” (“The Shah’s Gift”), told the story of a gift (diamond necklace) that the Shah of Persia had given the wife of the President of the Republic. In the piece, “Les femmes et le Franc-Maçonnerie” (“Women and Free-Masonry”), the article reported on a Free-Masons’ meeting that included many women. La Citoyenne reprinted a piece from Lettres algériennes in the newspaper Petit Journal. The reprint, “Scènes d’Afrique” (“African Scenes”), related the writer’s encounter with a worn-down young woman, as the writer traveled by train. In the “Echos” column, a brief section beginning “Chez les Afghans” (“In the land of the Afghans”) explained that Afghan fathers sold their daughters in marriage, but the leader Seid Ahmed had issued a declaration abolishing the practice.

La Citoyenne was a French feminist newspaper, founded, funded, and edited by Hubertine Auclert, with the primary aim of promoting women’s suffrage. Auclert, the leader of France’s fledgling suffrage movement from 1880 to her death in 1914, lived in Algeria from 1888-1892. This experience intensified and shaped her already existing interest in the colony. La Citoyenne, published from 1881-1891, was the first French feminist newspaper to address questions of empire. This issue includes the article, “Paix ou guerre” (“Peace or War”), by Maria Martin, the editor who replaced Hubertine Auclert. Martin argued that because war threatened France, it was not time to press for women’s suffrage. She pointed out that women would not likely support war and that they were capable and ready for full citizenship. The piece, “Les socialistes réactionnaires” (“Reactionary Socialists”), criticized the conservative Catholic socialists for advancing proposals that asserted women’s inabilities to participate in public or professional life. The article, “Deux femmes” (“Two Women”), reported that France was raising money for a statue honoring Joan of Arc, and Austria was doing the same to honor Marie-Thérèse. The article compared the accomplishments and receptions of the two women. The short piece, “Abolition de l’esclavage au Brésil” (“Abolition of Slavery in Brazil”), lauded Brazil’s abolition of slavery and underscored that a woman, the princess Isabelle, initiated the immediate liberation of slaves. The author pointed out that women were central in ending slavery not only in Brazil but also in the United States, asserting Harriet Beecher Stowe’s powerful influence in the latter context.
