1943-1944: (Women Very Anxious to Learn: the Women Trying to Close the Foyer Before 7 PM but There Being So Many Women “Very Anxious to Learn to Learn Anything” That Madeleine Jeanne and Perhaps Marguerite Often Staying Late, Crossing into Their Respective Zones the Hundreds of Women Who Left the Foyer as a Group in the Darkness of Night Offering the Semblance of Safety from the Vulnerabilities of the Evening Hours): The women tried to close the Foyer before 7 p.m., but there were so many women very anxious to learn, to learn anything, that Madeleine, Jeanne, and perhaps Marguerite often stayed late.

The collective walk home was itself a form of organizing, the women’s bodies moving together through the dark city as a temporary nation of their own.
