This article considers why and how locality influenced feminists' perceptions of colonised women. It does so through an analysis of how militants and novelists linked with the Union Française pour le Suffrage des Femmes (French Union for Women's Suffrage, UFSF) perceived the Arab and Berber women of colonial North Africa. The organisation had branches in North Africa, and thus feminists in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia are compared to those in France. Where these women lived shaped their understanding of French women's roles in the colonies, along with their opinions regarding the rights to which colonised women could lay claim. Tensions among UFSF members are traced here through the literary figure Elissa Rhaïs, articles in the feminist newspaper La Française and correspondence among UFSF members. These sources indicate that while all these French women positioned themselves as mediators of colonialism and women's rights, their precise interpretations of that mediation were consistently influenced by local concerns.

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries there were a number of armed attempts by people in the Arab world, and particularly in the Maghrib countries, to resist European penetration and colonialism. Historians have made considerable efforts to categorize these attempts as being either examples of 'primary' resistance or of 'modern nationalist' resistance, a distinction based largely on the presence or absence in the movement concerned of an ideological content making reference to the various Islamic reform movements or to European-style nationalism. Thus Edmund Burke can write of the rebellion in the Moroccan countryside around Fez in 1911, which finally ushered in the French and Spanish Protectorates: "One looks in vain, for example, for evidence of the influence of reformism, Pan-Islam or Islamic modernism upon the movement."

The biggest victory of the Isabelline Spain, from a propaganda and ideological point of view, was the African War. In this regard, the zarzuela plays an important role in the building of the impression that was intended to be given about the country, although most of these plays had a limited success. Even if this paper is set out as an index of works, it includes several examples of how the titles of the lyric theatre present the same official speech presented at the time of the O'Donnell government. Therefore, they help in the building and spread of the collective worldview instituted in Spain about the Moroccan and the colonial advance, and even about Spain itself in the international context. The Spanish moral, intellectual, religious and cultural supremacy about Muslims, along with their disrepute, put together the ideological speech also implied in this theatre. ; La mayor victoria propagandística e ideológica de la España isabelina fue la Guerra de África. La zarzuela juega aquí un papel importante para construir la imagen que se quiso dar entonces del país, y ello a pesar de que la mayoría de estas obras han tenido un éxito reducido. Aunque este trabajo no se plantea como un exhaustivo catálogo de obras, sí incorpora numerosos ejemplos en los que puede verse cómo los títulos de teatro lírico llevan implícito el mismo discurso oficial que difundía entonces el gobierno de O'Donnell. Contribuyen por ello en la construcción y difusión del imaginario colectivo que se implantó en España sobre los marroquíes y el avance colonial, e incluso del propio país dentro del contexto internacional. La supremacía moral, intelectual, religiosa y cultural de los españoles respecto a los musulmanes, junto al descrédito de éstos, articulan el discurso ideológico que se desprende también en este teatro.

Alcazar Kebir/Wadi al-Makhazen, 3 August 1 578 : A guenuine «Decisive Battle».
The battle known in Europe as «Alcazar Kebir» and which goes under the name in Morocco of «Wadi al-Makhzaen» - also known as the «Battle of the Three Kings », is nowadays almost completely forgotten in the West, even though it was famous for a long time, to the point of being celebrated in Elizabethan literature and theatre. There is value in rediscovering this important event in world history at the time of the Renaissance, a genuinely «decisive battle» in an almost Clausewitzian sense of that concept.
Its importance can be gauged in geo-political terms : it confirmed Moroccan power in West Africa, eliminated Portugal from that part of the world and then, as an independent kingdom, served to benefit Philip IPs Spain by reaffirming the Christian/lslamic balance of power in the Mediterranean.
And the battle may also be studied from a tactical perspective, in relation to the question of a «military revolution» in the early-modern era that was formulated originally by the British historian Geoffrey Parker.
