IN SEARCH OF KNOWLEDGE: FINDING YOUNG FRENCH GIRL'S TALES (1880-1920)

Presentation of the Researchers

We are Scholars of the Pomona College Academy for Youth Success (PAYS). We are 5 rising seniors, and each of us attends a different High School. This is our third summer being part of the PAYS program.
This summer of 2017, we conducted nearly a month of extensive research with Professor Duzer, to explore and better understand the complexities of being a woman in France during the late nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century.

After conducting our research, we analyzed a choice of serial postcards from her collection, in order to give a voice and tell the story of the women that sent and received these postcards. In finalizing our research, we created this website to express our research, hence participating in a new digital humanities initiative.
