Notes: Contents: feature article
Abstract: Part of a special issue on women and travel.  The writer discusses the work of women writers and travelers to Paris in the 19th century who consciously embraced the role of the flâneur and the "aesthetic investigator."  She argues that for writers like Ida Kohl, Emma Niendorf, and Johanna Schopenhauer the opportunity to wander the streets of Paris, despite the dangers, were vastly preferable to the confinements of other places and earlier times.  She maintains that the adoption of the role of the flâneur enabled these women to justify and elevate the motivations and the products of their gaze

*Rogers, Rebecca. “Boarding Schools, Women Teachers and Domesticity: Reforming Girls' Secondary Education in the First Half of the Nineteenth Century,” French Historical Studies. 1995.
Abstract: This article examines the reform movement in girls' secondary education, focusing on Paris during the July Monarchy.  Specifically, it addresses the development of lay boarding schools, arguing that education was a powerful tool in defining the nineteenth-century domestic woman.  Attempts to define and codify girls' secondary education during this period contained within them conflicting messages about women's intellectual and moral responsibilities in bourgeois society.  On the one hand, reformers pushed energetically for the establishment of higher standards in women's education, which necessitated, in their view, the construction of a professional corps of women teachers.  On the other hand, advocates for reform also emphasized the moral dimension of teachers' tasks.  By 1850 this moral dimension outweighed professional concerns.  My analysis of a series of boarding-school "dramas" illustrates how underlying cultural anxieties about girls' institutional education, women's sexuality, and women's potentially professional roles within these schools served to redefine girls' education in exclusively domestic fashion.  Reprinted by permission of the publisher

Conner, Susan P. “Public Virtue and Public Women: Prostitution in Revolutionary Paris, 1793-1794,” Eighteenth Century Studies, (1994).
 Abstract: The writer examines the role of prostitution in revolutionary France. She asserts that although the discourse of the French Revolution appeared idealistic and fundamentalist in defining virtue and vice, the actual evidence on prostitution suggests a more complex situation of multiple discourses and varied behaviors.  Throughout her examination, she draws on information from the procčs-verbaux of the police commissioners of Paris at the Archives de la Préfecture de Police, the cumulative crime records of the F7 series of the Archives Nationales, and the records of the streets and prisons of the city found in the police archives and in the collection of the Archives de l'Assistance publique.  She finds that the different discourses of the Revolution were not in competition and concludes that in the public world of public virtue, the femme publique was part of the order of life and the maintenance of virtue itself
