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 accuses men of monopolizing not only political but also economic power, thus placing women and their children at the mercy of husbands, who often abandon them. She argues that the “invasion” of “men’s trades” in order to raise women’s wages, and the economic independence of women, are essential to the welfare of the nation. Other articles discuss women and higher education. Abstract created by Marilyn J. Boxer.
