The historiography on the origins of feminism is vast and is governed by a broad consensus that feminism’s origins lie in the revolutions of 1848. This workshop challenges that consensus by examining the cases of France and Britain in the first four decades of the nineteenth century, focusing on the “Appeal” as a political genre that quickly took on a unique role and meaning for women. The workshop explores the various forms of “Appeal”, from William Thompson’s, Appeal of One Half of the Human Race, Women, Against the Pretensions of the Other, Men (1825), Claire Démar’s Appel d’une femme aux peuple (1883), to Flora Tristan’s appeal to working women through her Union ouvrière (1843). The workshop will explore the role of the “Appeal” within progressive and radical French and British thought. It will examine the role served by the “Appeal” to highlight the plight of women, slaves, and visible minorities within France and Britain, and the role of the “Appeal” to forge new forms of sociability and political activism.
