Séverine and Marguerite Durand, The Birth of an Experimental Journal
Type de matériel :
98
La Fronde was born in 1897, while Dreyfus scandal animates passions in France. This atypical newspaper in many ways, is the pinnacle of a meeting between tow exceptionals women: Maria Pognon and Marguerite Durand, during one of the many feminist congresses of the end of that century. This determining meeting convinced Marguerite Durand to turn to the third member of that novel idea: Séverine. Strong to her experience with Jules Vallès, already known in an environment widely led by men, she got involved in this women project, created, written, and published, only by those who will be named, among others, les frondeuses. This place hold no comparaison, in terms of expression, demands, feminist trends, and gave every woman a voice to be heard. In a world where women speech is undermined as a gender condamned to an eternal teenager status, we can barely imagine how this project came to life. We will take interest in the context of the newspaper birth, his creators and collaborators, and also to his reception by his men counterparts.
