Avril de Sainte-Croix (1855–1939), also known by the pen name Savioz, was a French author, journalist, feminist and pacifist. For many years she led the French branch of the International Abolitionist Federation, which sought to abolish state regulation of prostitution and fought trafficking in women. She advised the French government and the League of Nations on women's issues. She was vice-president of the International Council of Women from 1920 and President of the National Council of French Women from 1922 to 1932. This photograph of de Sainte-Croix was taken by French photographer Henri Manuel in 1925.Photograph credit: Henri Manuel; restored by Adam Cuerden
