1935-1943: (The LFAS Founds Libraries and Night Courses — the LFAS Founding Two Libraries in Port-au-Prince and Port-de-Paix and Organizing Night Courses in History Home Economics and Haitian Culture Through Various LFAS Chapters Including Miragoâne and Jacmel, the Curriculum Being Vast Including Grammar Foreign Language and Writing Classes but the Core Courses Being in Childcare and Home Management with an Average Class Size of Fifty Students): The LFAS founded two libraries in Port-au-Prince and Port-de-Paix and organized night courses in history, home economics, and Haitian culture through the various LFAS chapters throughout the country, including Miragoâne and Jacmel. The curriculum was vast, including grammar, foreign language, and writing classes, but the core courses were in childcare and home management with an average class size of fifty students — the institutional footprint was impressive, stretching across four cities, but the emphasis on childcare and home management revealed the movement’s persistent framing of women’s education as preparation for domestic roles rather than as liberation from them.
