1936-09: (The September 1936 Cover of La Voix des Femmes — the Cover Page Communicating the LFAS’s Revolutionary Legacy with the Image of the Citadelle Framed by a Future-Facing Feminist Agenda, the Masthead Reading “Plus de Lumière!” and the Contributing National and International Writers’ Essays Representing Topics in the Haitian Women’s Movement Reflecting International Connections Between the US Women’s Movement Latin American Women’s Movements and African American Women’s Political Organizing — the Issue Being Volume I Number 12 Priced at One Gourde): The cover page of La Voix des Femmes communicated the LFAS’s revolutionary legacy with the image of the Citadelle framed by a future-facing feminist agenda. The masthead read “Plus de Lumière!” — more light — and the contributing national and international writers’ essays represented topics in the Haitian women’s movement, reflecting the international connections between the US women’s movement, Latin American women’s movements, and African American women’s political organizing. The issue was Volume I, Number 12, September 1936, priced at one gourde — the cover was a visual manifesto: the revolutionary fortress, the feminist demand for illumination, and the international reach of the movement compressed into a single image.
