Comité Féminin
The Comité féminin, or in its full name, the Comité féminin contre la loi Berry-Millerand, les bagnes militaires et toutes les iniquités sociales (), was a French anarcha-feminist, anarcho-communist, anticolonial, antimilitarist, and anarcho-syndicalist organization founded on 31 August 1912 by anarchist activists from the Parisian seamstresses' union, such as Henriette Tilly, Jane Morand, and Thérèse Taugourdeau. Fighting against the deportation of prisoners to the colonies and for women's and female workers' rights, the organization quickly became the most significant of its kind in Paris. More broadly, it served as a platform for disseminating feminist ideas within French society and, more specifically, among anarchist circles in France. In this capacity, several activists from the Comité féminin influenced and participated in the anarchist cooperative Le Cinéma du Peuple, pushing it toward the production of '' Les Misères de l'Aiguille'', likely the first femi ...

Anarchist Companionship
The anarchist companionship was the relationship system of the Anarchism, anarchist movement in Western Europe at the end of the 19th century, encompassing both formal and informal anarchist networks guided by shared values such as hospitality and financial or practical aid to fellow companions. These networks also engaged in supporting other social struggles of the period—even those that were not explicitly anarchist. This transnational network, lacking a real nerve center or central authority, allowed anarchists of the time to meet, consult, and undertake joint actions while providing them with significant mobility across Europe. The companions shared a set of structuring elements that united them: common values, a shared commitment to the anarchist struggle, and a collective imaginary, particularly shaped by the anarchist press and songs of the period. Born as a response to state repression in Europe, this shifting and decentralized network proved difficult for authorities to c ...

Bourgeoisie
The bourgeoisie ( , ) are a class of business owners, merchants and wealthy people, in general, which emerged in the Late Middle Ages, originally as a "middle class" between the peasantry and aristocracy. They are traditionally contrasted with the proletariat by their wealth, political power, and education, as well as their access to and control of cultural, social, and financial capital. The bourgeoisie in its original sense is intimately linked to the political ideology of liberalism and its existence within cities, recognised as such by their urban charters (e.g., municipal charters, town privileges, German town law), so there was no bourgeoisie apart from the citizenry of the cities. Rural peasants came under a different legal system. In communist philosophy, the bourgeoisie is the social class that came to own the means of production during modern industrialisation and whose societal concerns are the value of private property and the preservation of capital t ...
