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. It was a feminist intervention, offering what the state refused to provide.
