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. 606 $aWomen teachers$zFrance$vBiography 606 $aMuslim girls$xEducation$zAlgeria$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEducation and state$zAlgeria$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen$zAlgeria$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aFrance$xColonies$zAfrica$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aWomen teachers 615 0$aMuslim girls$xEducation$xHistory 615 0$aEducation and state$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 676 $a370.92 676 $aB 700 $aRogers$b Rebecca$f1959-$0917988 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812015003321 996 $aA Frenchwoman's imperial story$93923338 997 $aUNINA
