This book is organized around the personal struggles of ten
extraordinary French women activists: Eugenie Niboyet, Eugenie Foa,
Suzanne Voilquin, Josephine Bachellery, Pauline Roland, Jeanne
Deroin, Elisa Lemonnier, Desiree Gay, Adele Esquiros, and Marie
Noemie Constant. Ranging in age from 52 to 20 in 1848, coming from
different economic backgrounds, these women share a common quest to
be included in the economic and political rights won by the revolt
against the July Monarchy. Banding together in the face of
exclusion from the right to work guaranteed to all men in February
1848, they write petitions to the Provisional Government, and
create the first daily feminist newspaper, "La Voix des femmes."
The newspaper is a forum for their demands: midwives who demand to
be paid as civil servants, domestic workers who demand support
while unemployed, teachers who demand opportunities for higher
education and for higher wages. The right to vote and the right to
divorce are debated in the newspaper. Seeking to widen their
support, Niboyet and her cohort launch a political club, Le Club de
femmes, which is ridiculed in the satiric press. The women
activists of 1848 do not withdraw from the public sphere. They form
workers' associations. Deroin and Roland are imprisoned for their
activism. All continue to work for women's rights as teachers,
writers, and artists. The women of 1848 inspire successive
generations of women to continue their struggle.
