Marie-Thérèse Poitevien was one of the founding members of Ligue Feminine d'Action Sociale (the Feminine League for Social Action) in Haiti. The organization, made up of primarily socially elite teachers, was formed in 1934 against the backdrop of the US military occupation of Haiti (1915-1934). The government banned the League two months after it was formed, but it was reestablished under an agreement to study their goals rather than work to immediately accomplish them. In the summer of 1946, President Dumarsais Estimé's administration held a Constitutional Convention. On August 9, 1946, members of the LFAS, including Poitevien, entered the Constitutional Assembly to show their support for women's suffrage. After a market woman attempted to enter with the women, only to be dismissed and removed at the request of the LFAS, the womens' characters were attacked by the debaters within the Assembly. The women left after sitting through much of the debate which targeted members of the LFAS, leaving before the end of the session.[1] Following the Assembly, the women immediately began to write their experiences. Together, Madeleine Sylvain-Bouchereau, Alice Garoute, Yvonne Hakime-Rimpel, and Cléante Desgraves-Valcin wrote, edited, printed, and distributed their work. The 25 page pamphlet was entitled "La Femme Haitienne Repond aux Attaques Formulées Contre Elle à L’Assemblée Constituante" ("Haitian women respond to the formal attacks against them at the Constitutional Assembly"). The work was a collection of essays and prose, opening with a statement by Sylvain-Bouchereau renouncing the session as "grotesque" and "slanderous." The women addressed the attacks that had been made on their organization and used the opportunity to clarify what their organization was fighting for.[1] In Poitevien's piece "La Feminisme" she wrote: {{quote|text=Feminism is not an empty phrase, but a reality.
