Description - From the Salon to the Schoolroom by Rebecca Rogers
How a nation educates its children tells us much about the values of its people. "From the Salon to the Schoolroom" examines the emerging secondary school system for girls in nineteenth-century France and uncovers how that system contributed to the fashioning of the French bourgeois woman.Rebecca Rogers explores the variety of schools - religious and lay - that existed for girls and paints portraits of the women who ran them and the girls who attended them. Drawing upon a wide array of public and private sources - school programs, prescriptive literature, inspection reports, diaries, and letters - she reveals the complexity of the female educational experience as the schoolroom gradually replaced the salon as the site of French women's special source of influence.
