  1. Awarded by the Committee of women’s magazine La Vie heureuse, this prize was founded in 1904 in protest against the misogyny of the members of the Goncourt Jury, and to recognise the works of male and female authors in an unbiased way. The other big women’s magazine of the time, Femina, was merged with La Vie heureuse in 1917, the prize was called "Vie heureuse" or "Vie heureuse - Femina" for several years before taking on the name "Prix Femina" in 1922.
