La Fronde (The Sling) was a
French feminist newspaper first published in
Paris on 9 December 1897 by activist
Marguerite Durand (1864–1936). Durand, a well known actress and journalist, used her high-profile image to attract many notable Parisian women to contribute articles to her daily newspaper, which was the first of its kind in France to be run and written entirely by women. She also had experience on other reputable publications, including
La Presse and
Le Figaro.[1]
