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 issue includes the article, “Il y a cent ans” (“One Hundred Years Ago”), by Maria Martin, the editor who replaced Hubertine Auclert. Martin marked the beginning of the centenary year of the French Revolution. She recalled women’s significant role in the revolution and their subsequent disenfranchisement. She noted that in 1889 men would finally recognize that for the word equality to have real meaning, women must be enfranchised. In “Voile et Viol” (“Veil and Rape”), Hubertine Auclert criticized Arab practices of child marriage, which she argued allows the rape of young girls. She condemned the French government for allowing its perpetuation. The piece, “Dernier épreuve!” (“Last Ordeal!”), castigated the government for not introducing the budget reform it had long promised. The article, “Exposition de travail féminine” (“Exposition of Women’s Work”), reported on this successful event held in England. The piece, “Les femmes avocats” (“Women Attorneys”), criticized the Belgian court that refused the request of Mlle. (Marie) Popelin to take the oath necessary to practice law. Of note, Popelin was the first female lawyer in Belgium.

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 issue includes the article, “Le mariage arabe” (“Arab Marriage”), by Hubertine Auclert. She reported on marriage law and custom among Algerian Arabs. She compared it to that of France, concluding that in many ways, Arab marriage was better for women. Specifically, in Muslim marriages, the woman kept her family name, the man brought the dowry, and the woman gained certain civil and economic rights. The piece, “Une bonne idée” (“A Good Idea”), reported on a woman who had developed an innovative method for teaching children to read. In the second of a two-part article, “L’histoire de la guerre en Amérique racontée par une femme” (“The History of the American War, Told By A Woman”) relayed an account from the March 15 issue of The English Woman’s Review, discussing and praising a book about the United States Civil War written by an American woman, Mary Livermore. In the column “Echoes,” the brief piece starting with “Une ligue pour le suffrage politique des femmes” (“A league for women’s political suffrage”) announced the founding of this organization in Toronto, Canada. Toronto’s Procurer General, M. Morval, agreed that women had demonstrated their capacity for political suffrage by exercising the municipal vote.

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 issue includes the article “Les droits du mari” (“The Husband’s Rights”), by Maria Martin, the editor who replaced Hubertine Auclert. Martin criticized women’s lack of legal protection within marriage, arguing against men’s nearly limitless control over their wives property and person. In “La polygamie en France” (“Polygamy in France”), Hubertine Auclert described what she considers the horrors of polygamy and called for its abolition all French colonies. The piece, “Suffrage des femmes” (“Women’s Suffrage”), reprinted a letter from the Englishwoman Elisabeth Wolstenholm-Elmy arguing for women’s suffrage. The article “Trois rêves dans un desert” (“Three Dreams in a Desert”), was the first of a multi-part series, translated from the English original by South African writer Olive Schreiner.

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 issue includes the article, “Le suffrage des femmes dans la Nouvelle-Zélande” (“Women’s Suffrage in New Zealand”). It reported that an appointed Legislative Counsel blocked the law granting women the right to vote, which the representative Chamber of Deputies had passed. The piece, “L’exposition feminine de Chicago” (“The Chicago Feminine Exposition”), reported on the planning and development of the “Feminine Exposition” at the 1892 Universal Exposition in Chicago. The article, “Une loi à faire” (“A Law to Make”), explained that while divorced or separated women frequently were awarded payments by the courts, rarely did the men actually pay. The article called on the legislature to make a new law to force men to pay these monies. The piece, “Douze cent francs!” (“Twelve Hundred Francs!”), compared England’s and France’s laws that punished men who seduced and abandoned, or merely dishonestly abandoned, women. It criticized French law for its minimal fines and lax punishments compared to those of England.

The author begins by contrasting representations of the Muslim peasant in the North African countryside with representations of Muslim women; the former almost always appears impoverished and disheartened while Muslim women are often typified as happy, relaxed, and surrounded by the luxuries of the harem. Wishing to establish a more accurate depiction of middle-class Muslim women’s lives in Algeria and Tunisia, the author argues that their existences were filled with sadness, misery, and oppression. Citing legal examples from the Koran, the author reveals that polygamy, the repudiation of wives, women’s lack of consent in marriage, prescriptions on domestic abuse, and statutes against women’s education have reinforced women’s inferior social status. Compared to French women, Muslim North African women suffer under much greater oppression, in the author’s view.

This extensive text includes both the transcribed proceedings of the meeting of the Tenth International Congress of Women in Paris as well as formal essays included by conference participants. The conference itself met over a period of several days, with themes and topics dispersed throughout various days’ sessions, but the formal presentations appear thematically in the tome. The first topic explored is women’s roles in public and private charities, with two essays focusing respectively on women’s participation in private charities internationally in the ten years preceding the meeting and recent improvements made to workers’ housing. The theme of hygiene comprises the conference’s second major theme, with two formal presentations on women’s roles combating alcoholism and tuberculosis. Third is the topic of education and essay topics here explore character education, how different countries have used education to respond to contemporary anxieties, and how to protect youth from moral corruption found in magazines, plays, images, and public events. The fourth major theme is law and legislation, and authors in this domain questioned the legal rights of women vis-à-vis their husbands as well as the civic capacity of married women in various national contexts. Questions concerning women’s right to work comprised the fifth major theme; protective labor laws for women’s work and a discussion of a minimum wage for women supplemented this topic. The sixth topic addressed by the Congress was women’s suffrage, including discussions on married women’s nationality and women’s moral influence as voters. The conference’s major themes conclude with examinations of female university students, possibilities open for women desiring careers, and the role of women in pacifism and in international conflict resolution. The text ends with a transcript of the conference’s closing sessions, as well as adopted resolutions and a helpful index outlining the contributions of all participants.
