Program for the bicentenary of the birth of Julie Victoire Daubié
Born at the Manufacture Royale de Bains in 1824, Julie-Victoire Daubié lived her entire life leading a fierce fight for the emancipation of women and equality between women and men.
Known for being the first female graduate of the baccalaureate in France (1861), she was also the first to obtain a degree in Literature in 1871 (despite the impossibility for women to follow courses at the Sorbonne).
This Vosges woman proved to the world that men are not the only ones who can access knowledge and diplomas. She also received, at the initiative of Napoleon III at the Universal Exhibition of 1867, a medal that rewarded all of her work.
Integrated into the 2024 calendar of National Commemorations by France Mémoire of the Institut de France and placed under the high patronage of the Prime Minister, this bicentenary "obliges" us to carry out a commemoration worthy of the life, thought, work and fight of the illustrious Frenchwoman Julie-Victoire Daubié and her followers on this major societal subject of the economic and social condition of women.
It is for all these reasons that the association of Friends of the Royal Manufacture of Bains (where her birthplace is located, labeled Maison des Illustres) and the association of Friends of old Fontenoy (where she died 50 years later) mobilized at the beginning of 2023 by setting up an organizing committee for the Commemoration to ensure a national impact for this event, in a positive tone of constructive and respectful living together.
