[1] In L'Humanité nouvelle for March and April 1898, she wrote an article on "La Femme au XXe siècle" based on a lecture she gave on October 28, 18972.
She stated, for example, that:— "The feminists worthy of the name work to solve the social question by putting the woman, whom centuries of a depressing education have inferiorized, in a condition to take her place in a new society."
In 1899, Louise Saumoneau and Élisabeth Renaud created the Groupe Feministe Socialiste (GFS)[3] following the death of Aline Valette.
[1] The GFS manifesto was signed by four women, all from modest backgrounds, who associated their trades with their names: Louise Saumoneau (seamstress), Élisabeth Renaud (teacher), Estelle Mordelet and Florestine Malseigne (tailors).
[4] The GFS manifesto protested the "double oppression of women, exploited on a large scale by capitalism, subject to men by laws and especially by prejudice."
