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 third in the four-part series, “La femme arabe” (“The Arab Woman”), which compared the lives of Algerian Muslim women to those of French women. This installment criticized marriage laws and practices in both Algeria and France, accusing France of hypocritically claiming to be more civilized than Algeria in these areas. In the article “Pour être belle” (“To Be Beautiful”), Hubertine Auclert countered a male journalist’s statement that the vote would make women ugly, by arguing that it would instead make them beautiful because it would emancipate them. The short announcement, “Les faux humanitaires” (“The False Humanitarians”), explained that the French Consul in Tangiers had taken steps to end slavery. The piece questioned why there was such concern for the slavery of Moroccan men and so little for French women’s slavery.

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.
