Bibliothèque Marguerite-Durand, Municipal library and feminist archive in Quartier de la Gare, France
The Bibliothèque Marguerite-Durand houses an extensive collection of books, photographs, and manuscripts focused on French feminist history and women's contributions to society.
Founded in 1932, the library emerged from the personal collection of journalist Marguerite Durand, who gathered materials during her time at the newspaper La Fronde.
The collection contains 4,000 letters and 25,000 books dating from the 17th century, featuring works by prominent French authors like Madame de Staël and Colette.
Located at 79 Rue Nationale in Paris, the library opens Tuesday through Saturday, with specific hours varying between morning and afternoon sessions.
The library maintains an archive of French suffragette materials, including original manuscripts, photographs, and personal correspondence from early feminist movements.
