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 addresses the theme of women and war. Taking the example of the Franco-Prussian war and the French invasion of Tunisia, she argues that because women’s lives are affected by war, women should have the right to shape politically the direction of national security. Additional articles review the legal scholar Emile Accolas’ publication on marriage law and the weekly segment on “Women in History” discusses the French Revolutionary figure Lucile Desmoulins.
