Marguerite de Witt-Schlumberger (20 January 1853 – 23 October 1924) was a French campaigner for pronatalism, alcoholic abstinence, and feminism. She was the president of the French Union for Women's Suffrage (Union française pour le suffrage des femmes / UFSF) movement.[1] She married into the Schlumberger family and became a powerfully influential matriarch and the mother of several sons who achieved notability in their own right.[2] An activist in international women's rights circles, Witt-Schlumberger was a leading suffragist at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.[3] For her active involvement and service to the government, she was awarded the Croix of the French Legion of Honour in 1920.[1]
