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 schoolsreligious and laythat 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 sourcesschool programs, prescriptive literature, inspection reports, diaries, and lettersshe reveals the complexity of the female educational experience as the schoolroom gradually replaced the salon as the site of French womens special source of influence. From the Salon to the Schoolroom also shows how France as part of its civilizing mission transplanted its educational vision to other settings: the colonies in Africa as well as throughout the Western world, including England and the United States. Historians are aware of the widespread ramifications of Jesuit education, but Rogers shows how French education for girls played into the cross-cultural interactions of modern society, producing an image of the Frenchwoman that continues to tantalize and fascinate the Western world today.
