| Summary: | Based on a collection of archives kept at the Marguerite Durand Library (Paris), this article presents the constellation of women conceived by Marguerite Durand in 1922 for the exhibition Famous Women of the 19th Century. The aim of this event was to relaunch the feminist newspaper La Fronde and to create a Club of Women Journalists based on the statutes of the House of Journalists from which women were still excluded, as well as a House of Women’s Works and Institutions. To achieve this goal, Marguerite Durand relied on her extensive network. She created a female constellation as an alternative to the male pantheon in order to counteract some of the exclusions produced by dominant knowledge. In doing so, she also recreated other forms of knowledge that helped to show the importance of women in history at a time when their access to the right to vote was being debated in the Senate. |
