    Lalla Fadhma n'Soumer or Lalla Fatma n'Soumer, Lalla Faḍma n Sumer in Kabyle (born Fadhma Nat Sid Hmed in Abi Youcef, Algeria c.1830) was an important figure of the Algerian resistance movement during the first years of the French colonial conquest of Algeria. She was seen as the embodiment of the struggle. Lalla, the female equivalent of sidi, is an honorific reserved for women of high rank, or who are venerated as saints. Fadhma is the Berber/French spelling of the Arabic name Fatima, which is colloquially pronounced Fatma in most Arabic dialects as well as Berber.

    • N’Soumer, misunderstood symbol of Algerian feminism



      Lalla N’Soumer, the mother of modern Algerian feminism, still lives in the songs and depiction of mothers and grand-mothers, mainly Berbers, and secularist women elite.

      The Algerian legislative election on Thursday was marked by a high-scored sentiment of abstention and reluctance, what many see as evidence of broken government promises on the socioeconomic policies and a political system tainted by corruption and marginalization. 

      An electoral déjà vu play. For the youth, who see that there is no chance for change, the same figures, the same political party leaders parade in the regime’s palace.

      Political leaders and Imams spent weeks before the poll trying to warm up the cynical voters to go en masse and vote, using the national slogan, “let your voice be heard,” posted on all the city’s billboards.

      Lala Fatma NSoumer


      The title Lala is given to women who are considered saints, just like the title Sidi for men. Fatma is a hero because of her own way of thinking. Women were not tolerated to man decisions as men but N'ssoumer knew how to impose herself: so she fought and resisted the French colonialism.

      Lala Fatma N'Soumer was born in 1830 in Tizi-Ouzou. Her father was a Koranic school director, so she had a wide knowledge on our religion which was very unusual for a girl to do at that time. A wedding was arranged for her at the age of sixteen, despite her refusal. It was not long before people came from far and bred with gifts and asking for her advice.
