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. 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, 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 rebuts the charge that women lack interest in politics by broadening its definition to show how women’s function in feeding their families depends on decisions made by legislators. She also accuses the deputy Camille Sée of hypocrisy for voting a budget for Jesuits while attacking women for supporting the clergy. Other articles report on women abroad, including Turkey and Ukraine. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.

In this issue, Auclert accuses men of monopolizing not only political but also economic power, thus placing women and their children at the mercy of husbands, who often abandon them. She argues that the “invasion” of “men’s trades” in order to raise women’s wages, and the economic independence of women, are essential to the welfare of the nation. Other articles discuss women and higher education. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.

In this issue, Hubertine Auclert put forth a republican electoral program, promoting the legal equality of women and men, in “Programme logique” (“Logical Program”). In “Les femmes médecins” (“Women Doctors”), Antonin Levrier (Auclert’s romantic partner and future husband, and a regular contributor to La Citoyenne) exposed the prejudices and nearly absolute barriers to practice that women doctors faced in France, England, and the United States. “Les Oulad-Nail” reprinted a short piece written by Guy de Maupassant and published in the Gaulois about the Oulad-Nail, a North African people among whom young women act as courtesans to accumulate their dowries.

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, citing several articles of the civil code that subjected women to their husband’s will, Auclert compares married women to slaves. She asserts that if young women taking marital vows understood what a “trap” they were entering, they would not move into a “conjugal prison.” Another article discusses an insurrection in Algeria that was spreading across North Africa.
