Title: The General Meeting of the Association for the Year 1936. Description: Manuscript of report of the activity of the Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women (AECPFR) for the year 1936, presented by Elena Meissner, the leader of the organization, at the AECPFR Congress from March 29, 1937. The document is important in that it gives a better idea on the structure of the organization after almost 20 years of activity. Also, it does testify once again the integralist approach of these feminists towards the achievement of full civil and political rights for women although the hostile political environment did not bear the promise of the achievement of these rights any sooner. The report contains also information on the issues discussed at the meetings of the organization – the document provides short accounts of the main speeches held at the meetings of the organization. Keywords: Feminism, politics, women’s emancipation, political rights, civil rights, structure, Association for the Civil and Political Emancipation of Romanian Women

TITLE: Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein Wien to Božena Viková-Kunětická, June 14, 1912. DESCRIPTION: The Allgemeiner Österreichischer Frauenverein [General Austrian Women’s Association] founded in 1893, was an influential association of German speaking Austrian women’s activists. Božena Viková-Kunětická (1862-1934) was a Czech speaking writer and nationalist politician. In 1912, she was elected a deputy to the Bohemian Provincial Diet, the first elected woman deputy in the Habsburg Monarchy. The curial electoral system to the Diet, in use since 1861, was based on tax and property qualifications and thus excluded a major part of the citizens on the basis of class. At the same time the regulations pertaining to the Bohemian Diet used gender neutral terms – some women thus were not deprived from the right to vote to the Diet, some were not explicitly excluded from the passive electoral right. The representatives of the General Austrian Women’s Association Adele Gerber (1863-1937) and Leopoldine Kulka (1872-1920) congratulate Viková-Kunětická to her victory and describe her election as an important step for the women’s movement as a whole. KEYWORDS: Women and Nation within Empire; Relations Between Women of Different Nationalities; Political and Human Rights; Suffrage; Habsburg Empire; Cisleithania; Vienna

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

In this issue, Auclert addresses the theme of women and war. Taking the example of the Franco-Prussian war and the French invasion of Tunisia, she argues that because women’s lives are affected by war, women should have the right to shape politically the direction of national security. Additional articles review the legal scholar Emile Accolas’ publication on marriage law and the weekly segment on “Women in History” discusses the French Revolutionary figure Lucile Desmoulins.

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 discusses the inequalities of the education directed toward girls and young women. She identifies an inescapable paradox: because young women do not receive substantive schooling, they likewise do not find themselves in parliament overturning legislation which hinders their full education. Additional articles continue to unpack the legal scholar Emile Accolas’ publication on marriage law, while letters to the editor discuss themes of adultery in Emile Zola’s novels, women’s vote, and an update on the war in Tunisia.
