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 second of the four-part series, “La femme arabe” (“The Arab Woman”), which compared the lives of Algerian Muslim women to those of French women. This article argued that although Arab women’s lives were more physically constrained than French women, the Arab women had both greater legal rights and access to legal recourse than did women under France’s Napoleonic Code of Law. Another article includes the opening piece, “Le vote ou l’exonération de l’impot” (“The Vote or the Exemption from Taxation”), by Hubertine Auclert. It published a petition to the legislature, arguing that unless women had the right to vote, they should not have to pay taxes. The piece, “Divorce Comique” (“Divorce Comic”), criticized a Senate report involved in the ongoing debate regarding the re-establishment of legal divorce in France. In “La Reine de Madagascar” (“The Queen of Madagascar”), the pseudonymous author “Une Voyageuse” (“A Women Traveler”) explained how the newly-crowned Queen of Madagascar valorized education over militarism, countering European assumptions of her barbarism.

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 third in the four-part series, “La femme arabe” (“The Arab Woman”), which compared the lives of Algerian Muslim women to those of French women. This installment criticized marriage laws and practices in both Algeria and France, accusing France of hypocritically claiming to be more civilized than Algeria in these areas. In the article “Pour être belle” (“To Be Beautiful”), Hubertine Auclert countered a male journalist’s statement that the vote would make women ugly, by arguing that it would instead make them beautiful because it would emancipate them. The short announcement, “Les faux humanitaires” (“The False Humanitarians”), explained that the French Consul in Tangiers had taken steps to end slavery. The piece questioned why there was such concern for the slavery of Moroccan men and so little for French women’s slavery.

This issue includes the fourth and final part of the four-part series, “La femme arabe” (“The Arab Woman”), which compared the lives of Algerian Muslim women to those of French women. This article criticized the absolute separation of the sexes in Algerian culture and lamented the loss of the great ancient Arab culture, in which women played many prominent roles. The piece, “Le vote des femmes en Angleterre” (“Women’s Vote in England”), reported on the women’s suffrage struggle in England. The article, “Les Jésuites rouge” (“The Red Jesuits”), argued against an anarchist accusation that women’s suffragists were all pro-clerical.

The opening article, “Le divorce est voté” (“Divorce Authorized”), announced the abrogation of the 1816 law abolishing divorce. In “Ce que ferait les femmes” (“What Would Women Do?”), Maria Martin (the future editor of La Citoyenne) reported that France’s military occupation of Tonkin had led to hostility from the local population. She contended that if women had been in charge, they would have used the same amount of money for economic development within the colony. In “Bal au Congo en honneur de M. de Brazza” (“Ball in the Congo in Honor of Mr. de Brazza”), the unsigned article described a village’s dance and celebration in honor of the arrival of the French imperialist explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza.

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 “La fête des femmes” (“The Women’s Festival”), by Hubertine Auclert. She supported the legislator Joseph Fabre’s proposal to create a national holiday honoring Joan of Arc (“Jeanne d’Arc”). She argued that “July 14 is a glorious anniversary for free men” (“le Juillet 14 est pour les hommes libre un glorieux anniversaire”), but for women it was a “cruel irony” (“ironie cruelle”). The article “L’Avenir du divorce” (“The Future of Divorce”) discussed the debates about the reintroduction of divorce into the Napoleonic Code of Law. The piece “Les femmes qui ont détruit la Bastille” (“The Women Who Destroyed the Bastille”) supported a geography professor’s call for a commemorative plaque honoring Mme. Legros, who participated in the July 14 events. The article suggested that along with Mme. Legros, the revolutionary women Reine Audru and Théroigne de Méricourt also be honored and included on the plaque.

In this issue, Auclert investigates the disparity of wealth between men and women and how women’s economic independence is essential to their campaign for political rights. Related, this issue reprints Auclert’s letter to the Minister of Commerce, urging his support of women’s participation in the 1889 World Exposition held in Paris. Additional articles discuss women’s roles in the health care profession and concerns, compared to Germany, about the nation’s ability to handle typhoid fever. 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. The opening article, “Le république menace par le cabaret” (“The Republic Menaced by the Cabaret”), Hubertine Auclert argued that the health of the republic depended on women gaining the right to vote. In “Le célibat de nos compatriots a l’étranger” (“The Celibacy of our Overseas Compatriots”), the pseudonymous author Jeanne Voitout (“All-seeing Jeanne,” likely Hubertine Auclert) examined the shortage of French women willing to live in the colonies. She argued the shortage created a lack of suitable wives for Frenchmen in those colonies. She suggested that the problem could be ameliorated by hiring French women into official colonial positions. The piece, “Le loi sur les recidivists et les dompteuses des fauves humains” (“The Law on Recidivists and the Taming of the Wild Humans”), argued that the recent law on recidivism, which mandated sending these criminals to overseas prison colonies, was a waste of resources. Instead, the author contended that women could civilize the criminals with compassion. The article, “Position de la femme Tonkinoise” (“Position of the Tonkin Woman”), was the second of a three-part report on Tonkin laws regarding women.

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.

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 what she considers as the unsuccessful experiment which allowed women to vote in municipal council elections. She continues to call for open and fair elections for all after highlighting the municipal council elections as a fraud. A short article called “Seven Societies” provides the names and enrolment information of seven feminist groups in France. A review of Eugène Pellatan advertises the author as a feminist ally. Finally, the editors reveal that the ongoing question of women’s participation in the 1889 World Exposition was taken up by two additional newspapers, La France libre and Le Figaro.
