1943-11-03: (Jeanne Plants a New Project: The Foyer Ouvrier — Jeanne Responding to the Deprivation by Planting a New Project, in the Early Days of the Influenza Epidemic the LFAS Opening the Foyer Ouvrier as a Center for Working-Class Women to Study Learn Technical Skills and Earn a Remedial Education — Before Leaving SHADA Jeanne Working All Morning at Her Job and Then Leaving to Teach Students at the Foyer, Predicting “Madeleine and I Will Split Our Time Between Work Le Foyer and Home”): Jeanne responded to the deprivation by planting a new project. She was no longer being paid, but she was working. In the early days of the influenza epidemic, the LFAS opened the Foyer Ouvrier — a center for working-class women to study and learn technical skills and earn a remedial education. Before leaving SHADA, Jeanne would work all morning at her job and then leave to teach students at the Foyer. In her prediction for the new year of 1944, Jeanne concluded that she and Madeleine would split their time between work, le Foyer, and home — the woman who had spent her mornings spinning propaganda for SHADA spent her afternoons teaching the women SHADA had dispossessed.
