Abstract / Summary
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 counters the argument against women’s voting on grounds that unlike most (though not all) men, they did not serve their country in military duties. She points out that more women give their lives paying the “maternity tax” than men the “blood tax,” though they would happily serve as soldiers if that assured them civic rights. Other articles deal with women’s work in the garment industry. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.
