In a photograph from one of the Constituent National Assemblies, taken between 1945 and 1946, Eugénie Éboué-Tell stands out among dozens of white men. With her unique presence, she occupied her space firmly in an environment that was dominated by men. She was one of the first women to be part of that space and the first Black woman to be elected to the French National Assembly. Her campaign poster for the election highlighted the phrase "For more liberty, equality and fraternity," an adaptation of the French national motto, to which adding ‘for more’ emphasized her fight for an expansion of citizenship rights, especially for the overseas territories. Eugénie studied in France and at twenty years old, returned to become the first Black teacher in the territory. In 1922, she married Félix Éboué, who became a significant political figure in Africa and France. Together they lived in several places, such as Martinique, Sudan and Guadeloupe. After her husband's death in 1944, she began her political career, breaking away from the image that limited her to the role of ‘politician's wife’ and asserting her own identity and voice. She was the only woman to make her mark in all three chambers of the Republic and left behind a solid political legacy, which continues to serve as a reference for many women in politics today.
