Compagnons de la Femme. [Emile Barrault]. - 1833, ou l'Annee de la Mere.

Lyon, Mme S Durval [1833]. Octavo, side stitched; 48pp. Title rather ragged and dusty, dog-eared. A tired copy but worth preserving. ¶ Probably the second of maybe four issues of this rare work. This is titled February on the leaf after the title; others known to exist are January and two more with different titles that apparently appeared in June and July. One of the more loopy, to be polite, excursions of the Saint-Simonians: a group formed themselves as the Companions of Women and set off to find a prophesised female messiah in the middle east. If nothing else it allowed them to ignore all and any women at home. Papa Enfantin intervened and got them to work building industry and railroads and colonising north Africa.
