In light of the 1896 International Feminist Congress to be held in Paris, Leudet reflects on the value of feminism to French society. Stressing the ideology of women’s complementarity to men, the article argues against women’s participation in politics, suggesting that such activity would create a “third sex.” Using arguments related to “natural law” and women’s supposed biological and social “duties,” the author explains feminism cannot take hold in France because, as he points out, similar movements in England and the United States have resulted in an increased number of unmarried 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 first issue of the newspaper opens with an essay by Hubertine Auclert titled, "La Citoyenne," (The Woman Citizen), explaining the publication’s goal of attaining civil and political equality for women and men. Other articles address "Les femmes électeurs," (Women Voters), about women who attempt to vote, despite it being against the law; "Le divorce en Italie," (Divorce in Italy); "Les femmes d’Irlande," (Irish Women), lauding the Women’s Agrarian League’s revolutionary activism against landlords; and "Les femmes au Niger," (Women of Niger), written by the anonymous "A traveler to Niger," which describes how the indigenous women of this French colony travel alone by river, even when nursing a baby.

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 situates women’s enfranchisement in perspective of “universal suffrage,” a right earned by all French men in 1848. An article on infant health appears on the front page as well, in addition to notice of organizational meetings for the Société le droit des femmes and the Association des dames françaises. Abstract created by Jaime Wadowiec.

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, Auclert argues in a piece called “The Power of the Vote” that with the franchise, women will have a greater say in social matters, like marriage and divorce, which affect their day to day lives. Also appearing in this issue are meeting notes for the Société le droit des femmes, a short piece on abortion, and an article about Algerian vineyards. Abstract created by Jaime Wadowiec.

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 refutes objections to woman suffrage on grounds of differing gender roles, arguing that there is no inherent conflict between exercise of political rights and fulfillment of domestic duties. Another major article protests the sub-subsistence wages of working women. 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, Auclert engages with the argument that, women, because they are mothers and suited for domestic upkeep, should not have the right to vote in the public political world. An article by Anna Maria Mozzoni situates the question of women’s enfranchisement in Italy. Additional pieces discuss working-class women’s right to a livable wage and a snippet called “Women in History” reviews the life of Charlotte Corday, who was executed for the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat during the French Revolution. Abstract created by Jaime Wadowiec.

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 counters the argument against women’s voting on grounds that unlike most (though not all) men, they did not serve their country in military duties. She points out that more women give their lives paying the “maternity tax” than men the “blood tax,” though they would happily serve as soldiers if that assured them civic rights. Other articles deal with women’s work in the garment industry. 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 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 takes issue with the “hypocrites” who claim that, because women tend toward religion, they should be excluded from the secular republic. Snippet articles address women’s issues in Russia and Senegal (French West Africa), while an article on current political debates addresses legislation which would regulate work hours. The ongoing feature entitled “Women in History” profiles the American abolitionist Harriett Beecher Stowe. Abstract created by Jaime Wadowiec.

In this issue, Auclert continues her focus on religiosity as an argument against women’s enfranchisement. She argues that men who maintain a confessional identity likewise should be excluded from political participation. The weekly segment on political matters pertaining to women focuses on a married woman’s access to household finances, while a piece on the Isle of Man celebrates the political rights granted there to women. A spotlight on “Women in History” focuses on Semiramis, the Assyrian queen who ruled autonomously after the death of her husband. Abstract created by Jaime Wadowiec.

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 addresses the call for women to “educate themselves” before becoming eligible to vote, stating the reverse was true, that women must enjoy political rights, including that of assembling in public and participating in electoral reunions, in order to gain essential knowledge. The “week in politics” column includes discussion of a French military expedition to repel an invasion in Tunisia. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.
