Ces militantes de la "première vague" (fin 19ème-début 20ème s.) ont contribué à faire avancer et reconnaitre les droits politiques des femmes en Europe.
Le mot clé "Périodiques du féminisme" vous permet d'accéder aux titres déjà numérisés dans l'Argonnaute. Ce fonds sera amené à s'enrichir très prochainement.
