Women

1937: (Valcin’s Proposal for Training Schools for Servants — Valcin Suggesting That the LFAS Women Should Establish Training Schools for House Servants and That “Those Who Are Unfit to Become Servants Due to Being Uneducated or Rogue Would Remain Home to Nurture the Generous Soul of the Haitian Land and Multiply Its Produce”): Valcin suggested that the LFAS women should establish training schools for house servants. Those who were unfit to become servants, due to being uneducated or rogue, would remain home to nurture the generous soul of the Haitian land and multiply its produce — the proposal sorted working-class women into two categories: those useful enough to serve in elite homes and those to be sent back to the countryside, their fitness for urban life adjudicated by the very women whose comfort depended on their labor.
