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 argues in a piece called “The Power of the Vote” that with the franchise, women will have a greater say in social matters, like marriage and divorce, which affect their day to day lives. Also appearing in this issue are meeting notes for the Société le droit des femmes, a short piece on abortion, and an article about Algerian vineyards. Abstract created by Jaime Wadowiec.
