 In January 1913 Rauze, Saumoneau, Renaud and others founded the Socialist Women's Group ("Groupe des Femmes Socialistes", GDFS) for women within the SFIO.A debate at once began within the GDFS over the question of whether socialist women should ally with bourgeois feminists.Rauze argued against, saying working women would not be emancipated by the vote but by the economic independence that they would gain through the SFIO.
