By the mid-1840's she had become a major figure in debates around educational policies, insisting that women were a critical dimension of the French effort to effect a fusion of the races. To aid this fusion, she founded the first French school for Muslim girls in Algiers in 1845, which thrived until authorities cut off her funding in 1861. At this point, she switched from teaching spelling, grammar, and sewing, to embroidery—an endeavor that attracted the attention of prominent British feminists and gave her school a celebrated reputation for generations. The portrait of this remarkable woman reveals the role of women and girls in the imperial projects of the time and sheds light on why they have disappeared from the historical record since then.Women teachersFranceBiographyMuslim girlsEducationAlgeriaHistory19th centuryEducation and stateAlgeriaHistory19th centuryWomenAlgeriaSocial conditions19th centuryFranceColoniesAfricaHistory19th centuryWomen teachersMuslim girlsEducationHistoryEducation and stateHistoryWomenSocial conditions370.92BRogers Rebecca1959-917988MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786183803321A Frenchwoman's imperial story3831281UNINA
