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. 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. Hubertine Auclert opens this issue with "Impératrices et citoyennes" (Empresses and Women Citizens), explaining that in monarchies (except France, which had the Salic Law that prevented a woman from sitting on the throne) and aristocracies, women can rule, but in the French republic women not only can not rule, they have no political rights. In "Les Femmes du Kroumir," Antonin Lévrier (Auclert's romantic partner and future husband, and a regular contributor to La Citoyenne) questions Franc'’s escalating hostilities with Tunis. He argues that France "has no right to make the Kroumir women into French women," because French women lack political and civil rights. The article, "La Giroflée" (The Wallflower), emotively describes the hanging of six Russian anarchists (including one woman, Sophia Perovskaya – here called Sophie Perowska), put to death for assassinating Tsar Alexander II. And "Les Kroumirs à table" (The Kroumir at the Table), discusses Kroumir cuisine and diet.

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 "Protestation des femmes contre toutes guerres de conquète" (Women’s Protest Against All Wars of Conquest), La Citoyenne printed a proclamation by the society Le Droit des Femmes (Women’s Rights). Opposing France's incursions in North Africa, and their repression of the Kroumir people, the statement argued that France had no legitimacy in "speaking of going to civilize the savages," because France itself was not civilized because of women’s disenfranchisement and marginalization. In, "Les Droits de la femme en Angleterre" (Women’s Rights in England), the author explains women’s unequal treatment under English law, based not only on sex, but also on class and marital status. The article, "Les Femmes et la revolution," (Women and Revolution), written by Antonin Lévrier (Auclert’s romantic partner and future husband, and a regular contributor to La Citoyenne), argues against the idea that women resist revolutionary change. He explained women’s extensive and significant participation in the revolutions of 1789 and 1848.

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 opened with the article “La Question n’est pas mûre” (“The question Is Not Yet Ready”), in which she demanded that women be allowed the right to legally claim paternity (“la recherche de la paternité”), something denied by the Napoleonic Code. Other articles included the second of the multi-part “Les femmes et la revolution” (“Women and Revolution”), by Antonin Levrier (Auclert’s romantic partner and future husband, and a regular contributor to La Citoyenne), explaining the vital role women were playing in Russia’s revolutionary, anti-tsarist movement. In Part I of this series (La Citoyenne No. 13, 8 May 1881) Levrier discussed women’s importance in the 1879 and 1848 French revolutions. A short, unsigned piece, “Les femmes Kroumirs” (“Kroumir Women”), discussed North African Kroumir women’s war songs. “La femme en Kabylie” (“Women in Kabilia) examined the subjugated status of North African Kabyle women. “La traite des blanches” (“The White Slave Trade”) related the arrest and trial of a man charged with entrapping young women into prostitution.

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 recounts her experience confronting the Conseil d’Etat regarding the taxation of non-voting citizens. She argued that because women could not vote, they should not be held accountable for taxation, and her advocacy, she explains, prompted much attention from French feminists. Additional articles discuss the ongoing war in Tunisia, the Société le droit des femmes, and women’s participation in 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 discusses the unevenness of universal suffrage among working-class men to make the case for women’s enfranchisement, another blind spot of universal democracy. Additional pieces provide an overview of a meeting held by the Société le droit des femmes, an ongoing feature examines women’s participation in the French Revolution, and an examination of the “power of women in elections.” The semi-regular feature entitled “Women in History” features Lady Montagu, an English aristocrat who introduced the smallpox vaccine to the West in the early eighteenth century after travelling in the Ottoman Empire.

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 that because women typically manage household budgets, they are capable of supervising municipal and state budgets. This, she suggests, will help curb some of the excesses allowed by male politicians. An ongoing segment discusses women in the French Revolution, an article on female doctors discusses women’s role in the medical profession, and a snippet titled “The Ruling Class” discusses the Union française de la jeunesse and its potential impact for young 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. 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.

In this issue, Auclert urges French women to boycott taxation until they are equal citizens. The discussion comes in response to deliberations of the Conseil d’Etat, which Auclert petitioned to demand women’s enfranchisement in exchange for their tax revenue. An article responds to an unfavorable review of La Citoyenne, which appeared in the journal Progrès de Lyon. Another piece features Clarisse Bader, an historian, scholar, and the author of books on women in ancient Greece, ancient India, and in contemporary France. 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 wonders why men, provided the separate and unequal status of women, have the right to preside legally of women’s lives. She makes the case that allowing men legal authority over women is akin to allowing the Chinese, who possess different legal customs, to preside over French courts. The periodical continues a response to a negative review in the journal Progrès de Lyon, which focuses here on deconstructing the idea of “natural” gender roles. An additional piece discusses the regulation of prostitution at a London meeting featuring representatives from Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. Abstract created by Jaime Wadowiec.
