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, Hubertine Auclert put forth a republican electoral program, promoting the legal equality of women and men, in “Programme logique” (“Logical Program”). In “Les femmes médecins” (“Women Doctors”), Antonin Levrier (Auclert’s romantic partner and future husband, and a regular contributor to La Citoyenne) exposed the prejudices and nearly absolute barriers to practice that women doctors faced in France, England, and the United States. “Les Oulad-Nail” reprinted a short piece written by Guy de Maupassant and published in the Gaulois about the Oulad-Nail, a North African people among whom young women act as courtesans to accumulate their dowries.
