Adolescente, Hubertine Auclert (1848-1914) avait envisagé de prendre le voile, mais les religieuses n'avaient pas voulu d'elle. Elle se tourne alors vers un autre sacerdoce, la cause des femmes. Il y a fort à faire, comme elle le confie à son journal : exclues de la citoyenneté, privées de leurs droits civils, interdites de présence dans l'espace public, soumises à un moralisme étroit, les femmes de la fin du XIXe siècle sont en outre, pour les plus vulnérables d'entre elles, souvent exposées à la prostitution. Pourquoi les hommes changeraient-ils les règles d'un jeu qui leur est si favorable ? Hubertine Auclert estime que le combat doit commencer par le vote, et non par la conquête des droits civils et de l'égalité salariale qui en découleront, contrairement à ce que pensent la plupart des féministes de l'époque. Engagée dans des recherches sur les féminismes de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, Nicole Cadène a retrouvé, à la Bibliothèque historique de la Ville de Paris, le journal longtemps disparu d'Hubertine Auclert, militante à la volonté inflexible. Elle nous en livre ici une édition critique qui présente son autrice, la situe dans le mouvement féministe et ravive la mémoire de celle qui fut la plus éminente suffragiste française.

The book presents the first English edition of Hubertine Auclert's Arab Women in Algeria which offers a unique picture of Algerian society in late 19th century. Hubertine Auclert (1848-1914) was one of the foremost militants for women's political rights in France from the mid-1870s. She lived in Algeria from 1888 to 1892, where she investigated the customs and traditions that defined the condition of women. She witnessed both the exploitation of women and that of the colonized people; in doing so, she drew a picture of colonial Algerian society. While women were mistreated by men (sale of prepubescent girls into marriage, forced marriage, repudiation permitted only to men, polygamy), Arab men were mistreated by the colonial administration and excluded from the government of Algeria. She denounced the contradictions and hypocrisy of French justice, which often enforced, for their own interest, the "anomalies" of Muslim law in contradiction with French law. The last chapter of the book comprises of several striking anecdotes that illustrate the author's theoretical views. Jacqueline Grenez Brovender is a freelance translator and a former lecturer in French at Tufts University. Denise Brahimi-Chapuis taught in French and Algerian universities about the relationship between France and the Maghreb and its effect on women.
