TITLE: My Mother: Autobiography of Mrs. Elisavet Moutzan Martinengou. DESCRIPTION: Elizavet Moutzan-Martinengou (October 2, 1801 - November 9, 1832) began to write her autobiography at the age of 16 and stopped just before her marriage in 1831; after a year being married, she died giving birth to her son. The autobiography was first published in Athens in 1881 by her son Elisavetios Martinengos, not as a whole, but big parts of it. As Elisavetios Martinengos himself notes in the preface and repeats in the epilogue, he left out parts of the autobiography which referred to close family members or consisted of purely "family affairs." In other words, he has rather "censored" the text, as some researchers have argued. The text conveys in a very strong way the efforts of Elizavet Moutzan-Martinegou to be educated, within a social environment hostile to women's literacy, as well as her thoughts on women's social status and oppression. In the Ionian Islands (she was born and lived in Zakynthos, one of these islands), although under Venetian rule for four centuries and then under French, Russian and English rule, women’s literacy, even of those of the aristocracy, was particularly limited. Women were taught at home by family members or priests to learn basic reading and writing usually from religious books. KEYWORDS: autobiography, education, Greece, Ionian Islands, home, literacy, Elisavetios Martinengos, Elizavet Moutzan-Martinengou, social status, social oppression, Venetian rule, womanhood, Zakynthos

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.

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 wrote the article, “Reponse d’un député” (A Deputy’s Response”), about the state of the women’s suffrage struggle in France, England and the United States. A short piece titled “Tahiti,” in the “Exterieur” column, reported celebrations as Tahiti officially became a French colony. “La terreur du mari” (“The Terror of the Husband”) strongly critiqued women’s lack of rights and recourse under the Napoleonic Code’s marital laws. The brief article, “La fête de la mort en Australie” (“The Celebration of Death in Australia”), by the writer Léo Quesnel, explained the silent dance that women performs when a person dies. “Les Eunuques Blancs” (“The White Eunuchs”), penned by Draigu, the pseudonym of Léon Girard, a writer and one of Auclert’s supporters and financial backers, compared legal and customary means of controlling women in Turkey and in France. Draigu often wrote about women beyond the metropole, using the pseudonyms Draigu or Camille. He stated that he prefers the honesty of polygamy to the hypocrisy of France’s monogamy.
