Schooling the Daughters of Marianne: Textbooks and the Socialization of Girls in Modern French Primary Schools

by Linda L. Clark

Book Overview

This first book-length study of girls' primary education in France gives a concrete picture of how Frenchwomen were, and are, prepared for their roles in society.

Until the 1960s, the primary school provided the only formal education for the majority of French children. Long recognized as a major inculcator of patriotic and moral values, the French primary school also played the vital role of preparing girls for their expected adult lives.
