  • La légion des Fédérées, aussi appelée légion des Femmes, bataillon des Femmes ou bataillon des Fédérées, est un groupe armé féminin actif durant la Commune de Paris en mai 1871. Il est fondé dans le 12e arrondissement et a pour mission de chasser les réfractaires de la Garde nationale, sans toutefois ni sortir de Paris ni participer aux combats. La légion est organisée militairement, avec uniformes, parades et porte-drapeau, et est dirigée par deux femmes gradées : la colonelle Adélaïde Valentin et la capitaine Louise Neckbecker. Ses membres tiennent plusieurs réunions dans des clubs importants où elles incitent les Parisiens à prendre les armes. Elles sont estimées de vingt à cent et sont pour la plupart issues des milieux populaires. La présence de la légion est attestée par de nombreux témoignages, même si les rares membres connues qui sont passées en conseil de guerre ont tenté d'atténuer leurs faits — elles sont lourdement condamnées.
