Suzanne Grinberg
Suzanne Grinberg ( 25 January 1888 - 5 July 1972) was a pioneering French lawyer, feminist and pacifist. She was one of the women who participated in the Inter-Allied Women's Conference which opened in Paris in February 1919.[1] In 1920, she was vice-president of the Association du Jeune Barreau and secretary of the central committee of the French Union for Women's Suffrage.[1][2] Her contemporaries in the committee include Pauline Rebour and Marcelle Kraemer-Bach.[3] In one of her arguments for women's suffrage, she argued that, in France, women were forced to choose between love for their homelands and their love for their husbands.[4] She later published an account of the French suffragist movement (1926) as well as two works on women's rights (1935 and 1936).[5]
Grinberg's works included her campaign for a favorable legal status of women in Algeria and that their claim to women's rights depended on the legal recognition of their liberal equality.[6]
