Popelin, Marie (1846–1913) and the Belgian League for Women's Rights
View through CrossRef
Marie Popelin, the first Belgian woman doctor of law, was the “founding mother” of Belgian feminism. The “Popelin Affair” – the Belgian courts' denial of her request to be called to the bar in 1888 and 1889 – was the catalyst that triggered the transition from an educational proto‐feminism to an organized women's movement. By 1892, Popelin and her lawyer, Louis Frank (1864–1917), had founded the first Belgian feminist organization, the Belgian League for Women's Rights (
Ligue beige du droit des femmes
), which would remain the engine of the Belgian women's movement until World War I.
