1943-1944: (Working Out of a Room with Thirty-Person Capacity: Madeleine and Jeanne Working Out of a Room with a Thirty-Person Capacity Trying Not to Turn Women Away Despite Struggling to Find Equipment and Teachers to Accommodate the Interest, in Offering What Women Asked for the LFAS Attempting to Create a Curriculum Led by These Women’s Desires and Expectations for Their Lives in the Capital City): Working out of a room with a thirty-person capacity, Madeleine and Jeanne tried not to turn women away despite the fact that they struggled to find equipment and teachers to accommodate the interest.
