1938: (The Space Between the Women — Comhaire-Sylvain’s Notes Not Indicating Hourly Intervals but Her Narration in La Voix des Femmes Filling in Some of the Space Between the Women, Sharing Bits of Their Conversation About Money Marriage Children and Death — Accounting for the Business Acuity and Thought That Emerge from Women’s Vending Throughout the Region, Comhaire-Sylvain Informing the Reader That Adelsia Never Attended School but “Her Mental Calculations Are Remarkable”): Comhaire-Sylvain’s notes do not indicate hourly intervals, but her narration in La Voix des Femmes fills in some of the space between the women. In the published text, Comhaire-Sylvain shared bits of the women’s conversation about money, marriage, children, and death. Accounting for the business acuity and thought that emerge from women’s vending throughout the region, Comhaire-Sylvain informed the reader that Adelsia never attended school, but her mental calculations were remarkable — the remark was not condescension but recognition: the university-trained anthropologist acknowledging that the unschooled market woman possessed a mathematical intelligence that formal education had not produced and could not replicate.
