La Minerve was a newspaper founded in Montreal, Quebec, by Augustin-Norbert Morin to promote the political goals of Louis-Joseph Papineau’s Parti patriote. It existed from 1826 to 1837, and again from 1842 to May 27, 1899.  Throughout the years, it went from being a radical paper to a conservative one. It included women among it’s readership and had many pages devoted to the fashion and etiquette of the time.
