The content of the study focuses on the issue of the right to work of persons with disabilities from the point of view of the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities adopted by the General Assembly of United Nations in 2006. The article discusses the formal elements of the national system supporting the professional activity of this group of people. The author also presents opinions of various entities, independent of state authorities, on the compatibility of solutions adopted in our country with the philosophy of the Convention.

The article’s aim is to show that La Fronde, a daily founded by Marguerite Durand, is a place of various manifestations, especially the will to change the political and social domain, and above all the status of a woman in society. The analytical corpus includes texts dealing with political rights (voting rights) and civil rights (the right to work), which were published in January and February 1899.
