Aound 1880 Caroline Rémy became involved with Jules Vallè's socialist publication, "Cri du Peuple" writing under the nom de plume "Séverine." Vallè eventually gave her control over the newspaper due to his poor health. A growing militant in her views, she became friends with fellow journalist and feminist, Marguerite Durand but following a confrontation with the Marxist Jules Guesde she left the newspaper in 1888. She continued writing for other papers in which she promoted women's emancipation and denounced social injustices of all kinds including the Dreyfus affair. In 1897, she began writing for Durand's feminist daily newspaper "La Fronde".

A staunch leftist, Rémy backed some of the anarchist causes including the defense of Germaine Berton and particpated in the 1927 efforts to save Sacco and Vanzetti. She supported the Russian Revolution of 1917 and in 1921 she joined the Communist Party however a few years later, she quit the party in order to maintain her membership in the League of Human Rights.
