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, Hubertine Auclert opened with the article “La Question n’est pas mûre” (“The question Is Not Yet Ready”), in which she demanded that women be allowed the right to legally claim paternity (“la recherche de la paternité”), something denied by the Napoleonic Code. Other articles included the second of the multi-part “Les femmes et la revolution” (“Women and Revolution”), by Antonin Levrier (Auclert’s romantic partner and future husband, and a regular contributor to La Citoyenne), explaining the vital role women were playing in Russia’s revolutionary, anti-tsarist movement. In Part I of this series (La Citoyenne No. 13, 8 May 1881) Levrier discussed women’s importance in the 1879 and 1848 French revolutions. A short, unsigned piece, “Les femmes Kroumirs” (“Kroumir Women”), discussed North African Kroumir women’s war songs. “La femme en Kabylie” (“Women in Kabilia) examined the subjugated status of North African Kabyle women. “La traite des blanches” (“The White Slave Trade”) related the arrest and trial of a man charged with entrapping young women into prostitution.

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.

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 accuses men of monopolizing not only political but also economic power, thus placing women and their children at the mercy of husbands, who often abandon them. She argues that the “invasion” of “men’s trades” in order to raise women’s wages, and the economic independence of women, are essential to the welfare of the nation. Other articles discuss women and higher education. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.

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, Hubertine Auclert put forth a republican electoral program, promoting the legal equality of women and men, in “Programme logique” (“Logical Program”). In “Les femmes médecins” (“Women Doctors”), Antonin Levrier (Auclert’s romantic partner and future husband, and a regular contributor to La Citoyenne) exposed the prejudices and nearly absolute barriers to practice that women doctors faced in France, England, and the United States. “Les Oulad-Nail” reprinted a short piece written by Guy de Maupassant and published in the Gaulois about the Oulad-Nail, a North African people among whom young women act as courtesans to accumulate their dowries.

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, citing several articles of the civil code that subjected women to their husband’s will, Auclert compares married women to slaves. She asserts that if young women taking marital vows understood what a “trap” they were entering, they would not move into a “conjugal prison.” Another article discusses an insurrection in Algeria that was spreading across North Africa.

In this issue, Auclert resumes her discussion of the benefits of extending the vote to women. Denying that women don’t care about politics, she broadens its definition to include questions of war and peace and family budgets. “Masculine royalty,” she says, has no more justification than the rule of a king. Other articles concern public assistance and women warriors in French history. 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 issue includes the article, “La femme vivisectée,” (“The Vivisected Woman”), by Hubertine Auclert. She likened men’s violence against women to the vivisection of animals. Auclert pointed out that the Chamber of Deputies would be considering a law against animal vivisection, but there was no law protecting women from violent husbands. The essay, “La femme au Tonkin” (“Tonkin was part of French colonial Indochina”), by Louis Black, focused on a beautiful young woman whose husband has been condemned to being blinded for a crime he did not commit. The article, “Pauvres hommes!” (“Poor Men!”), criticized men of the political left, principally anarchists, who did not overtly oppose women’s rights but rather undercut and insulted women.

This issue includes the article “La fête des femmes” (“The Women’s Festival”), by Hubertine Auclert. She supported the legislator Joseph Fabre’s proposal to create a national holiday honoring Joan of Arc (“Jeanne d’Arc”). She argued that “July 14 is a glorious anniversary for free men” (“le Juillet 14 est pour les hommes libre un glorieux anniversaire”), but for women it was a “cruel irony” (“ironie cruelle”). The article “L’Avenir du divorce” (“The Future of Divorce”) discussed the debates about the reintroduction of divorce into the Napoleonic Code of Law. The piece “Les femmes qui ont détruit la Bastille” (“The Women Who Destroyed the Bastille”) supported a geography professor’s call for a commemorative plaque honoring Mme. Legros, who participated in the July 14 events. The article suggested that along with Mme. Legros, the revolutionary women Reine Audru and Théroigne de Méricourt also be honored and included on the plaque.

This issue includes the article “Les femmes dans l’armée” (“Women in the Army”) by Hubertine Auclert. She argued that the army should hire women to handle clothing and food needs. This would improve the conditions for men serving in the army, while simultaneously providing women with good jobs. The piece, “Jeanne d’Arc de Bulgarie” (“The Bulgarian Joan of Arc”), reported that a German woman, dressed as an officer, fought with the Bulgarian army. The article, “La popularité de Louise Michel” (“Louise Michel’s Popularity”), related the broad popularity of the revolutionary anarchist feminist Louise Michel. The newspaper expressed admiration of her character but disagreed with her revolutionary tactics. The piece, “Le mariage du Congo” (“The Marriage of Congo”), explained a Congolese marriage custom: a man approaches the father of the woman he wants to marry, the father states a price, and then he and the proposed groom negotiate. The short piece, “Sophie de Kropotkine” reported on the wife of the widely-known anarchist Peter (Pierre) Kropotkine, acclaiming her intellect, accomplishments, and appearance.

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 publishes her petitions to the Chamber and Senate, in the name of unmarried women as taxpayers and property owners, and protests their lack of representation in the legislature. Other articles concern a scandal involving a deputy and a German “harlot” deported from the country, the women “Don Quixotes” who, like the mistreated Louise Michel, play a role in the Russian revolutionary movement; and the infamous Article 340 of the Napoleonic Code that prohibits paternity suits. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.
