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. The opening article, “Le divorce est voté” (“Divorce Authorized”), announced the abrogation of the 1816 law abolishing divorce. In “Ce que ferait les femmes” (“What Would Women Do?”), Maria Martin (the future editor of La Citoyenne) reported that France’s military occupation of Tonkin had led to hostility from the local population. She contended that if women had been in charge, they would have used the same amount of money for economic development within the colony. In “Bal au Congo en honneur de M. de Brazza” (“Ball in the Congo in Honor of Mr. de Brazza”), the unsigned article described a village’s dance and celebration in honor of the arrival of the French imperialist explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza.

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. The opening article, “Le république menace par le cabaret” (“The Republic Menaced by the Cabaret”), Hubertine Auclert argued that the health of the republic depended on women gaining the right to vote. In “Le célibat de nos compatriots a l’étranger” (“The Celibacy of our Overseas Compatriots”), the pseudonymous author Jeanne Voitout (“All-seeing Jeanne,” likely Hubertine Auclert) examined the shortage of French women willing to live in the colonies. She argued the shortage created a lack of suitable wives for Frenchmen in those colonies. She suggested that the problem could be ameliorated by hiring French women into official colonial positions. The piece, “Le loi sur les recidivists et les dompteuses des fauves humains” (“The Law on Recidivists and the Taming of the Wild Humans”), argued that the recent law on recidivism, which mandated sending these criminals to overseas prison colonies, was a waste of resources. Instead, the author contended that women could civilize the criminals with compassion. The article, “Position de la femme Tonkinoise” (“Position of the Tonkin Woman”), was the second of a three-part report on Tonkin laws regarding women.

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, “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.
