1943: (Le Foyer: Shifting the Social Terrain — the Foyer Being a Feminist Response to Women’s Needs and an Opportunity for Jeanne and Madeleine Sylvain-Bouchereau to Translate Their Social Work Education to a Haitian Context, the Foyer Being an Extension of LFAS Women’s Research to Curate and Craft an Alternative Landscape for Women in Haiti That Invited Women to Circumvent the State): The Foyer was a feminist response to women’s needs. It was also an opportunity for Jeanne and Madeleine Sylvain-Bouchereau to translate their social work education to a Haitian context. The Foyer was an extension of LFAS women’s research to curate and craft an alternative landscape for women in Haiti that invited women to circumvent the state — the new home for women was not a government program but a feminist intervention, offering what the state refused to provide.
