The Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand is a specialized institution housed within a modern building at seventy-nine rue Nationale in the thirteenth arrondissement. It distinguishes itself as the only public library in France entirely dedicated to the history of women and the feminist movement. The library originated from a vast collection of books, manuscripts, and periodicals amassed by the journalist and activist Marguerite Durand, who founded the women-led daily newspaper La Fronde in eighteen ninety-seven.
