[6] By late 1913 Louise Saumoneau, who strongly believed the struggle should be based only on class, had defeated the feminists and controlled the GDFS.

She visited Paris in February 1914 to argue for this change, but could not gain support from anyone but the sole remaining feminist on the GDFS executive, Marguerite Martin.

Saumoneau refused the offer in favor of launching a new journal, and in July 1914 gained approval for starting a publication in September 1914.

[7] Rauze was a member of Le Droit Humain, a Freemason society, and twice talked on feminism to her "Diderot" lodge in the first half of 1914.

[8] In the run-up to the legislative elections of 1914 Rauze, Hélène Brion and Marguerite Martin left the moderate Union franchise pour le Suffrage des Femmes (UFSF) and formed the Ligue nationale pour le Vote des Femmes (National League for Women's Votes), a militant suffrage society.

It was also supported by feminists such as Marguerite Durand, Maria Vérone, Madeleine Pelletier, Séverine and Nelly Roussel.

[9] During World War I (1914–18), L’Équité was subject to censorship, and could not print pacifist articles from authors such as Nelly Roussel.

[11] Marianne Rauze was one of the contributors to La Voix des femmes, founded in 1917 by Louise Bodin and Colette Reynaud.

[14] In November 1918, when it was clear that the allies had won the war, Rauze began to argue that the time was near for a social revolution.

[1] By 1923, Rauze had come to believe that the Red Army, instead of dissolving itself after defeating the Allied invasion of Russia, was turning into a permanent professional force.

[1] In 1954, Marianne Rauze-Comignan published Pour la paix universelle (For Universal Peace) in which she said the feminine will must be collective, free of all male influence or authority.
