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, citing several articles of the civil code that subjected women to their husband’s will, Auclert compares married women to slaves. She asserts that if young women taking marital vows understood what a “trap” they were entering, they would not move into a “conjugal prison.” Another article discusses an insurrection in Algeria that was spreading across North Africa.
