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 reasserts her position, taken nine years ago and opposed by “opportunist feminists,” to prioritize obtaining political rights over other reforms; this would give women the power to abolish the much hated vice squad [police des moeurs]. This issue, like many others, also lists seven steps changing the status of women necessary for the “republic in name” to become a “republic in fact.” Other articles call for providing the unemployed with work rather than charity and report on election in Kansas of the “first mayoress.” 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. In this issue, Auclert asserts that French men have proved their lack of intelligence by empowering a group of individuals three-quarters of whom have below average intelligence, the solution being to place power in the hands of a group of 800 persons, 400 of each gender, charged with writing a new constitution guaranteeing equal rights to all. A contributor compares racial and gender prejudice and injustice. Another article praises a new lycée for girls opened in Paris, and calls for many more. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.

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.

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 lead article, by Maria Martin, uses the example of a young couple trying to cut household expenses to support her view that women as legislators would do better than men at dealing with practical problems such as the national budget. Other articles include the problems faced in cases where baby girls registered at birth as boys grow up and are conscripted into military service or seek to get married, and present Auclert’s response to an invitation from Susan B. Anthony to attend a forthcoming national feminist congress in Washington. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.

In this issue, Maria Martin criticizes the preoccupation in Paris and all of France with General Boulanger, contending that this furor shows that it is men not women, as alleged by opponents of women suffrage, who are most easily overcome by political passions. Other articles report on feminist congresses in Washington and in three Scandinavian countries, as well as an exposition of women artists in Paris. 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, “Paix ou guerre” (“Peace or War”), by Maria Martin, the editor who replaced Hubertine Auclert. Martin argued that because war threatened France, it was not time to press for women’s suffrage. She pointed out that women would not likely support war and that they were capable and ready for full citizenship. The piece, “Les socialistes réactionnaires” (“Reactionary Socialists”), criticized the conservative Catholic socialists for advancing proposals that asserted women’s inabilities to participate in public or professional life. The article, “Deux femmes” (“Two Women”), reported that France was raising money for a statue honoring Joan of Arc, and Austria was doing the same to honor Marie-Thérèse. The article compared the accomplishments and receptions of the two women. The short piece, “Abolition de l’esclavage au Brésil” (“Abolition of Slavery in Brazil”), lauded Brazil’s abolition of slavery and underscored that a woman, the princess Isabelle, initiated the immediate liberation of slaves. The author pointed out that women were central in ending slavery not only in Brazil but also in the United States, asserting Harriet Beecher Stowe’s powerful influence in the latter context.

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, “Madame Roland au Panthéon” (“Madame Roland in the Pantheon”), by Maria Martin, the editor who replaced Hubertine Auclert. Martin called for the revolutionary Madame Roland to be commemorated in the Pantheon, where a woman had never been honored. Asking only for a bust to be mounted rather than asking that her ashes be moved there, Martin appealed to “the men of 1889” (“les hommes de 1889”) to remedy the errors of their fathers and recognize a woman. The piece, “Congrés Français et international du droit des femmes de 1889” (“1889 French and International Congress of Women’s Rights”), laid out the plans for the large international women’s conference. In “La femme arabe: costume” (“The Arab Woman: Clothing”), Hubertine Auclert critiqued Arab women’s clothing, the “circumscription” of their lives, and their veiling. The article, “Ce qu’une femme peut faire” (“What a Woman Can Do”), reported on a Mlle. de Broen, who did charitable work in Paris’s working-class Belleville neighborhood. In the first 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”), the author 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.
