Described as an energetic and intelligent woman, passionate about social welfare, in the autumn of 1897-1898 she began working on La Fronde (1897-1903). This was a feminist publication led by the distinguished Marguerite Durand. Every morning when she went to its officers, she mingled other women dressed in light green uniforms who were going to work on that evocative newspaper made by and for women. With an exquisite sensitivity and an original mixture of humour and creativity, Marni, who had not previously considered herself a feminist, shows a clearly critical attitude towards the situation in which women found themselves, as well as all the myths and stereotypes created by society. Woman Theatre (1906) is a clear example of this because it is a compendium of plays showing how this criticism was not only meant for women from the upper bourgeoisie of French society at the time but could also be extrapolated women from all the other social classes making up French society at the dawn of the last century. | |
