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 rebuts the charge that women lack interest in politics by broadening its definition to show how women’s function in feeding their families depends on decisions made by legislators. She also accuses the deputy Camille Sée of hypocrisy for voting a budget for Jesuits while attacking women for supporting the clergy. Other articles report on women abroad, including Turkey and Ukraine. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.
