Pauline Savari's practical feminism in the Belle Époque: Unionization, Cooperatives and Insurance for Working Mothers (1887-1907)
This article examines the activities and legacy of hitherto unknown feminist Pauline Savari who advanced the emancipation of French women between 1887 and 1907. At a time when marriage and motherhood restricted women’s participation in the labour market, Savari promoted a practical feminism that sought the economic emancipation of all women, both professional and working-class. Her practical feminist philosophy, which emerged as a response to con…
Transmitting the Memory of a Medieval Heretic
Modern scholars have assumed that after Marguerite Porete was condemned for heresy in 1310 she disappeared from the historical record. However, the discovery of references to Porete in François de Belleforest's Grandes annales (1579) and Henri de Sponde's Annales ecclesiastici (1641) overturns this narrative and shows that these historians were responsible for reintroducing her story to the French public. Porete offered a powerful symbol that bol…

Philip the Chancellor’s discussion of cardinal vi…
The Virtuous Fall: M arguerite Porete, M eister E ckhart, and the Medieval Ethics of Sin
The medieval Church's concern with moral reform contributed to the emergence of a genre of literature in the thirteenth century dedicated to the vices and virtues. Inspired by monastic and scholastic traditions, treatises such as L aurent d' O rléans's Somme le roi encouraged the avoidance of sin and provided the faithful with a moral taxonomy that ultimately ensured their access to heaven.
