Allein die subjektive * radikalen Bruch in Europa zu Notwendigkeit scheint zu fehlen. wagen!“ 1 Dieser Bruch muss hier stattfinden. Er darf sich nicht in Appellen, Demos und der Solidarisierung mit Kämpfen in aller Welt erschöpfen. Je länger es dauert, bis er stattfindet, desto stärker werden die Zerstörungen des Kapitalismus die Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten einschränken. Oder, in anderen Worten: „In einer Welt, in der sich der soziale und ökologische Krieg jeden Moment weiter zuspitzt, ist es an der Zeit, zu einem Punkt zu kommen, an dem wir die Möglichkeit zur Veränderung der Welt nicht länger als eine Frage formulieren, diese Veränderung auch in die eigenen Hände zu nehmen. Die Notwendigkeit einer radikalen gesellschaftlichen Veränderung ist angesichts der globalen Lage keine theoretische Möglichkeit, sondern ein Fakt.“ 2 Wir können nicht die Revolution machen, aber wir können dazu beitragen, diese vorzubereiten. 3 Dieser revolutionäre Bruch strebt danach, jede Form von Herrschaft zu überwinden. Denn: „Wir haben nicht zweierlei Gewicht und zweierlei Maß für die Tugenden der Beherrschten und die der Herrschenden; wir wissen, dass wir selbst nicht ohne Fehler sind und dass die besten unter uns durch Machtausübung schnell korrumpiert wären. Wir nehmen die Menschen als das was sie sind und darum hassen wir die Herrschaft von Menschen über Menschen und arbeiten Anm.

Pulling together the many gendered facets of masonry, Allen draws from periodicals, memoirs, and copious archival material to account for the rise of women within the masonic brotherhood in the context of rapid historical change. Thanks to women’s social networks and their attendant social capital, masonry came to play a leading role in French civil society and the rethinking of gender relations in the public sphere. “James Smith Allen presents readers with an engaging, kaleidoscopic account of the uphill and contentious struggle to include select women as full participants in the arcane brotherhood of French freemasonry.”—Karen Offen, author of Debating the Woman Question in the French Third Republic, 1870–1920 “A Civil Society is important because it connects the activism and writing of major figures in French women’s history with masonic networks and impulses.

  • Pamela Pilbeam Charles Fourier and His Followers, the Fourierists
    1 86 French History and Civilization Fourier and the Fourierists: A Case of Mistaken Identity? Pamela Pilbeam Charles Fourier and his followers, the Fourierists, shared little, apart from their name. The objective of this paper is to explain why this was so. Fourier’s ideas are tolerably familiar, those of his followers far less so. Fourier has been the focus of a number of studies, the most detailed being that of Jonathan Beecher,1 although, apart from a fourteen-page pamphlet in 1827,2 none of his writings were translated into English until 1996.3 The Fourierists have attracted far less attention in modern times. In recent years there has been a small biography of their leader, Victor Considérant, in French and a major study by Beecher.4 There have been no modern translations of the writings of the Fourierists although Considérant alone wrote fourteen full-length accounts of their ideas in the 1830s and 1840s and at the time there were a substantial number of English commentaries on Fourierism published in England and America.5 Pamela Pilbeam is professor of French history at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her most recent books are Madame Tussaud and the History of Waxworks (Hambledon and London, 2003), and French Socialists before Marx. Workers, Women and the Social Question in France (London, 2000). She is currently working on a book on the Saint-Simonian and Fourierist movements in France and Britain.

  • Dear Dr Marx a Letter from a Socialist Feminist
    DEAR DR MARX A LETTER FROM A SOCIALIST FEMINIST Sheila Rowbotham "12 John Street, Toronto , Upper Canada. December 29th, 1851 Dear Dr Marx,* I am woefully behind the times. I plead revolution, exile, the laundry of the Wisconsin Phalanx, an American women's rights convention and two young children. Philosophy has been quite swept away and I have only just read your rousing Manifesto. I chanced upon it in the most extraordinary circumstances - you will, I am sure, agree that the 'frightful hobgoblin'' made its most unusual entry yet when I tell you my tale. I would have read you and Mr Engels in Paris back in '48 if I had not been running from the barricades to the office of Voix As Femmes and then to the women's clubs. After the horror of the June days I was working so hard in our associated house and creche that I read very little apart from the women's newspapers we kept starting. You probably know the circumstances which forced me to flee from France in 1850 after the police raided us in the home of Mme Deroin at the end of May. She and Pauline Roland were held for trial with Femme Nicaud and imprisoned for their part in the federation - *The author of this imaginary letter, Annette Devereux, is a fictional character, along with her husband, Victor, the Chartist typographer and M and Mme Ducrocq. However all the other characters mentioned are historical figures and information about them is provided in the order in which they appear at the end of the letter.

Before she passes to the state of equality with man, she needs to have her liberty. We must therefore realize, for the Saint-Simonian women, this state of liberty, by destroying the hierarchy that has hitherto existed for both them and for the men, and by making them [the Saint-Simonian women] return to the state of equality among themselves. THERE ARE NO MORE WOMEN IN THE DIFFERENT DEGREES OF THE HIERARCHY [OF OUR CHURCH]. Our apostolate, which is the call to woman, is an apostolate of men. Man can today be classified because he has had for a long time his complete liberty in relation to woman; but woman cannot be classified because she has not yet revealed herself. Thus goes our new position with regard to women … This state of confused equality will undoubtedly present some great inconveniences; but it will have an immense advantage over the faulty hierarchy that we have erected until now, because without woman having revealed herself as free, each classification of her was done by man’s law and badly done.

  • Sewing, Fighting and Writing
    Sewing, Fighting and Writing Maria Tamboukou Introduction Charting Lines of Flight The Parisian Seamstress On November 14, 1850, a strange dialogue took place between the president of a criminal court in Paris and Jeanne Deroin, who was on trial for political conspiracy against the government: • What is your profession? • Teacher and journalist. • You have also said that you are a seamstress […] • Please write that I have also been a seamstress. 1 • You are then a teacher, a journalist and a seamstress. Taking the judge’s final sarcastic remark as my starting point, in this book I want to explore a world of multiple ‘ands’ in women workers’ lives, particularly focusing on the extraordinary figure of the Parisian seamstress, her passions, her actions and their effects on the social, political and cultural formations of modernity. ‘More than a woman worker, a seamstress is part of a social and cultural enterprise that we have come to consider distinctively feminine’, Judith Coffin has argued in her influential study on the politics of women’s work in the Parisian garment trades (1996, 19). But apart from her distinct position in the history and political economy of women’s work, the seamstress is a well-recognized cultural image, mostly depicted as a destitute figure to be pitied and protected: she has motivated a range of historical and sociopoliti- cal studies that span more than two centuries2; she has been sung in popular culture3 and has inspired novels, poems, paintings4 and even operas.5 But she has mostly been the object of study—the social problem of female labour par excellence (Simon 1860), the muse or the model— very rarely the thinker, the actor or the creator—with the exception of autobiographical accounts of seamstresses who have also become writers.6 Such autobiographical nar- ratives have revealed that the seamstress is inextricably entangled in the sociopolitical and cultural movements in modernity as a revolutionary, a unionized worker, a militant feminist, a thinker, a writer and a creator.
