From the middle of the 19th century on, European women settled in colonial empires
in Asia and Africa in greater numbers than they had in the past. One example of this in
French Algeria was Hubertine Auclert, (1848-1914). She was a Parisian feminist
writer and women's suffrage activist. Auclert lived in Algeria from 1888 to 1892 and
published an important work in 1900 on Algerian women entitled Les Femmes Arabes
en Algérie (Arab Women in Algeria).
[From "Women and Algeria", November 22, 1896]
Instead of encouraging education for Arab girls in Algeria, the French
administration has closed the schools that existed prior to the [1830] conquest,
allowed conservative Muslim men to shut down those schools for girls that
were established after the conquest, and thus the capital of Algeria has not had
a single [academic] school for native girls for thirty-five years. When the
rector of the Academy of Algiers, Monsieur Jeanmarie, opened a class where
young Arab girls could receive education, these girls proved so prodigiously
intelligent that the French became alarmed. The French said that these young
girls when they graduate from school would no longer want to stay at home in
seclusion.
