The Federated Legion of Women (French: légion des Fédérées) was an armed unit composed of women active during the Paris Commune in May 1871. It was founded in the 12th arrondissement, with the intended mission of hunting down deserters. The legion had uniforms, parades, and a standard-bearer, and was led by two officers, Colonel Adélaïde Valentin and Captain . There were an estimated 20-100 members, most from working-class backgrounds. They held and attended meetings in Parisian political clubs, where they incited citizens to take up arms. After the defeat of the Commune, arrested members were given heavy sentences, including forced labour and deportation.

  • 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 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.
