1934-1938: (LFAS Public Personas Shaped Through Imaging and Photography — the Newspaper Routinely Displaying Images of Sylvain Garoute and Other Leaders in Authoritative Positions Dressed in Professional Clothing or Draped in Academic Regalia, the Women Not Beautiful Because of Cosmetic Appeal but Because of Scholastic and Professional Accomplishments — the LFAS Leadership Presenting the Image of Haitian Woman’s Citizenship as Universally Attainable Through Education and Civic Engagement): The LFAS women’s public personas were shaped through imaging in their writings and through photography. The newspaper routinely displayed images of Sylvain, Garoute, and other leaders in authoritative positions, dressed in professional clothing or draped in academic regalia. The women were not beautiful because of cosmetic appeal, but rather because of their scholastic and professional accomplishments. The LFAS leadership also presented the image of Haitian woman’s citizenship as universally attainable through education and civic engagement — though visual images often rehearsed the visual of class difference and drew attention to national disparities in wealth.
