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, the article “Mme. Belva Lockwood, présidente des états-unis” (“Madame Belva Lockwood, President of the United States”), reported on the suffragist and lawyer Belva Lockwood, the first woman to run for the presidency of the United States (National Equal Rights Party). In “La Procédure du Divorce” (“Divorce Procedure”), the paper addressed readers’ questions about newly legalized divorce. The piece, “Les femmes armées” (“Armed Women”), reported the violent attack on a young woman and argued that all women should arm themselves either with a firearm or a dagger. The third piece of a three-part report, “La femme Tonkinoise” (“The Tonkin Woman”), addressed Tonkin laws regarding women’s duties and rights. The column, “Chefs de famille” (“Heads of Families”), included the report of a French prisoner in the overseas prison colony in New Caledonia. His wife followed him to the prison colony (as was relatively common), and after several years, he brutally murdered her.

The piece, “Les femmes reçoivent rien parce qu’elles sont rien” (“Women Receive Nothing Because They are Nothing”), called on wealthy women to leave their wealth to causes that aid women in need. The article, “Les elections Anglaises” (“The English Elections”), reported that Helen Taylor, the adopted daughter of John Stuart Mill (Harriet Taylor Mill’s daughter), attempted to run for a political position but was prevented from doing so by the Registering Officer. The pseudonymous author Topsy pointed out that women were allowed to play a role in elections when they served as an ornament for their candidate husbands. The brief notice, “Les institutrices Japonaise” (“Japanese Women Teachers”), announced the arrival in Paris of twelve top Japanese teachers who will be studying the French language during their three-week visit. The piece, “Au pays d’Annam” (“In the Country Annam”), discussed the royal family and court of Annam, focusing especially on the women.

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 publishes her petitions to the Chamber and Senate, in the name of unmarried women as taxpayers and property owners, and protests their lack of representation in the legislature. Other articles concern a scandal involving a deputy and a German “harlot” deported from the country, the women “Don Quixotes” who, like the mistreated Louise Michel, play a role in the Russian revolutionary movement; and the infamous Article 340 of the Napoleonic Code that prohibits paternity suits. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.

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 fédération de 1889 et les femmes” (“The Federation of 1889 and Women”) by Hubertine Auclert. She criticized the male governmental authorities for calling for the formation of committees to plan celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, while the ideals of the revolution had been betrayed by keeping women disenfranchised. The piece, “Un college des filles” (“A Girls’ College”), reported that England has four university colleges for women, two at Cambridge and two at Oxford. The short article, “Le cadeau du Shah” (“The Shah’s Gift”), told the story of a gift (diamond necklace) that the Shah of Persia had given the wife of the President of the Republic. In the piece, “Les femmes et le Franc-Maçonnerie” (“Women and Free-Masonry”), the article reported on a Free-Masons’ meeting that included many women. La Citoyenne reprinted a piece from Lettres algériennes in the newspaper Petit Journal. The reprint, “Scènes d’Afrique” (“African Scenes”), related the writer’s encounter with a worn-down young woman, as the writer traveled by train. In the “Echos” column, a brief section beginning “Chez les Afghans” (“In the land of the Afghans”) explained that Afghan fathers sold their daughters in marriage, but the leader Seid Ahmed had issued a declaration abolishing the practice.

In this issue, Auclert celebrates the eighth anniversary of La Citoyenne, welcomes the support of feminists initially opposed to her prioritizing of political above civic rights, and expresses optimism regarding success in the near future. Other articles discuss a law of 1881 allowing married women to hold savings accounts, and praises men and women of the avant-garde who have stood up for women’s rights over the previous century.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
