1936-06-07: (Sylvain’s Response to Critics — Responding to Those Who Questioned LFAS Women’s Political Practice or Sincerity, Sylvain’s Attention to Women’s Gravitation Toward One Another Suggesting That Even If Critics Could Not Make Sense of Their Politics They Could Track and Account for Women’s Desire in Their Efforts to Draw Closer to One Another — the Narration of Laborious Intranational Travel Also an Opportunity to Account for the Hours and Miles That Many Women in Trade Traveled on Foot or by Donkey Every Day Carrying the Nation’s Sustenance and Economy): Responding to those who questioned LFAS women’s political practice or sincerity, Sylvain’s attention to women’s gravitation toward one another suggested that even if critics could not make sense of their politics, they could track and account for women’s desire in their efforts to draw closer to one another. The narration of laborious intranational travel was also an opportunity to account for the hours and miles that many women in trade traveled on foot or by donkey every day, carrying the nation’s sustenance and economy — the LFAS women’s journey by automobile was an echo of the far more arduous daily passage of market women whose labor sustained the nation but whose political existence was invisible.
