Her private documents reflect the extent of her militancy at the origins of the feminist combat of the nineteenth century and of pacifism in the twentieth century. After she dies in 1949, the Mundaneum will continue her document collection on feminism with press cuttings and publications. *The archives of a feminist of the National Council of Belgian Women (from the twenties until the Second World War) represent the feminism fund. Finally, recent donations by Luce Hautier and René Fosséprez allow for understanding post-1945 feminism through increasingly economic and social preoccupations. *The feminist collection comprises 222 archive boxes.

They quit; they cheated on their voyage (ita.); they collected small *advances on the new week's work (sale accent on e) and then disappeared; and *sometimes they spied for rival publishers or the police. Although *they may have felt some pride in their craft, they took shortcuts and compromised *on quality when it made labor easier. The results can be seen in any copy of the *Encyclopedie today - clear, crisp typography for the most part, *but margins askew here, pages misnumbered there, uneven register, unsightly spacing, *typographical errors, and smudges -- all of them testimony to the activity *of anonymous artisans two centuries ago." *(Robert Darnton, Business of Enlightenment: publishing history of the Encylcopedie, 1775-1800, Harvard Up, 1979, 227-228) * * *"To see into the life behind a fingerprint in the Encyclopedie is to *get some sense of how men moved through the obscure channels of working-class history, *but Bonnemain's thumbmark also can be studied for its typograhical significance. *It illustrates a point that is difficult to appreciate in an age of automation: *the printers of the Old Regime left their mark on their books -- literally, *in Bonnemain's case, and figuratively in all the others. For each workman stamped each page *with something of his individuality, and the quality of his craftmanship *affected the success of the product. *Bonnemain's fingerprint really resulted from a typographical trick. *By smearing the forme excessively with ink, he and his companion did not have *to pull so hard at the bar of the press to get an impression. But the extra ink *came off on their fingers and smudged the sheets during handling." (p. 230) * * *"(If a printer's devil took a turn at the press, one could coat the *bar with glue or ink, or one could produce bald spots on his sheets *by surreptitiously touching the inked surface of his forme with one's fingertips; *and a new boy at the casse (ita.) could always be asked to clean the ink out of the eye *of a capital P, which was really an eyeless paragraph sign or pied de mouche (ita.).)"
