Olympe Audouard (March 13, 1832 – January 12, 1890)[1] was a French feminist who demanded complete equality for women, including the rights to vote and to stand for election.
Born in Marseille as Félicité-Olympe de Jouval, she married on April 11, 1850 the lawyer Henri-Alexis Audouard (b. May 2, 1829). The couple separated in 1858, but was divorced only in 1885, shortly after the French divorce law (the "loi Naquet") had finally been passed on July 27, 1884.[2] Audouard was the founder of the newspaper Le Papillon, one of only two feminist newspapers in France that supported Naquet's divorce laws.[3]
