Abstract
Rebecca Rogers is associate professor of history at the University of Iowa, currently on leave as a maitre de conference at the University of Strasbourg in France. She has published Les Demoiselles de la Legion d'honneur: Les Maisons d'&Iucation de la Legion d'honneur au XIXe si~ee (Paris, 1992) and is working on articles about girls' education in the nineteenth century. Research for this article was sponsored in part by an Old Gold summer fellowship from the University of Iowa and a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Travel Fellowship. The University of Iowa granted me a developmental leave in which to write. Special thanks go to the following people for their comments and suggestions: Ken Cmiel, Mary Louise Roberts, the anonymous readers for the journal, and the participants in the French Cultural Studies Conference at the University of South Dakota. My research assistants, Andy Seehusen, Mark Stemen, and Sara Kimble provided invaluable services, as did Franois Debarre in the archives of the Seine.
