Details
- 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 addresses the call for women to “educate themselves” before becoming eligible to vote, stating the reverse was true, that women must enjoy political rights, including that of assembling in public and participating in electoral reunions, in order to gain essential knowledge. The “week in politics” column includes discussion of a French military expedition to repel an invasion in Tunisia. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.
