1945: (Mapping Women’s Routes Between Rural and Urban Haiti — as LFAS Women Developed Their Own Curriculum and Educational Materials They Accounted for Women’s Movements Between Spaces, Comhaire-Sylvain Walking the Mountains of Kenscoff to Co-Produce a Series of Handwritten Maps of Women’s Rural Routes That Lead to Port-au-Prince — In 1945 Sylvain-Bouchereau Producing a Series of Beginner-Level Reading Books That Tweaked and Highlighted the Gendered Landscape of Women’s Mobility Depicting a Girl’s Day-to-Day in Which Women Moved Between Rural and Urban Space and Stopped Over at the Foyers of Aunties): As LFAS women developed their own curriculum and educational materials, they accounted for women’s movements between spaces and social and cultural contexts. In mapping the urban space, LFAS research also charted the routes between urban and rural Haiti. Comhaire-Sylvain walked the mountains of Kenscoff in order to co-produce a series of handwritten maps of women’s rural routes that lead to Port-au-Prince. In 1945, Sylvain-Bouchereau produced a series of beginner-level reading books that tweaked and highlighted the gendered landscape of women’s mobility, depicting a girl’s day-to-day in which women moved between rural and urban space and stopped over at the foyers of aunties — the reading primer was a map disguised as a grammar lesson, teaching literacy and geography and feminist spatial consciousness in the same sentence.
