Marie Denizard's publicity image from 1913 French presidential election.

• ... that Marie Denizard (pictured) was the first woman to stand as a candidate in a French presidential election even though French women did not achieve suffrage until 1944?

• ALT1 ... that Marie Denizard (pictured) stood as a candidate in a French presidential election in 1913 even though French women did not achieve suffrage until 1944? same sources as ALT, a slight rephrasing. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 01:10, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

The article is quite long and very well written so I can excuse the fact that it is not quite as fresh as it should be. I am more concerned about the fact that I can find almost nothing about this woman via Google, Google Books, or Google Scholar that was not published after the French Wikipedia's article about her. It seems so unlikely that the first woman to stand as a candidate for president of France should be so little known. I was able to find just enough to ascertain that she did indeed exist, but I am still a bit uneasy. MumphingSquirrel, do you have access to the 1910s sources cited in the article?

Hi Surtsicna thanks for the prompts. I have now added url links to the 1910 docs which are accessible online. Hope this helps confirm her candidacy - she really has been one of the notable women forgotten by history until recently MumphingSquirrel (talk) 16:57, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Wonderful. Thanks. It is quite astonishing that she was so thoroughly forgotten. Perhaps DYK can help change that! Surtsicna (talk) 22:28, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
