PARIS, 1904: Against the "Code Civil"
A meeting was held in the Sorbonne yesterday afternoon [Oct. 29], says the "Temps," to celebrate the centenary of the Code Civil, at which the President of the Republic presided. Just as M. Vallé, the Minister of Justice, concluded his discourse, which was much applauded, a woman stood up in the hemicycle and shouted: "Down with the Code Napoléon! It disgraces the Republic. It oppresses women!" The woman had prepared a speech which she was about to read to the assembly, but she was silenced at once, escorted out of the hall by two guards and conducted to the police commissariat, where she gave her name as Mlle. Kaufmann, member of the Ligue Féministe, living at No. 15 rue Taitbout. About an hour after the meeting, a number of cabs arrived at the Sorbonne with women, who intended to make a manifestation against the "Code Civil." They distributed handbills and were accompanied by sandwich-men, who carried signs with inscriptions denouncing the code. The signs bore the words: "The Code oppresses women; we protest against its glorification."
