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.
