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.
