La Voix Des Femmes (France, 1848)
''La Voix des Femmes'' ( en, The Women's Voice) was a Parisian feminist newspaper, and later an organization dedicated to education and the advancement of women's rights. The newspaper was put together by Eugenie Niboyet and published daily beginning in 1848 with the fall of Louis Philippe and the emergence of the much more lenient French Second Republic. With the initial popularity of the newspaper, it soon became an official association with such prominent members as Jeanne Deroin, Pauline Roland, Eugenie Niboyet and Desirée Gay. Male collaboration with the newspaper was welcome and among the male contributors was French poet, Victor Hugo.

Writers From Paris
A writer is a person who uses written words in different writing styles and techniques to communicate ideas. Writers produce different forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, books, poetry, travelogues, plays, screenplays, teleplays, songs, and essays as well as other reports and news articles that may be of interest to the general public.

The term was used by Vasari to describe the advent of a new manner of painting that began with the work of Giotto, as the "rebirth (''rinascita'') of the arts." Michelet thereby became the first historian to use and define the French translation of the term, ''renaissance'',Murray, P. and Murray, L. (1963) ''The Art of the Renaissance''. London: Thames & Hudson (World of Art), p. 9. to identify the period in Europe's cultural history that followed the Middle Ages.
