Rebecca Rogers is Professor of History at the Université Paris Descartes.
"Rebecca Rogers has written a first-rate biography about Eugenie Allix Luce (1804-1882), a determined French schoolteacher in mid-nineteenth-century Algiers. She has also made a significant contribution to the historiography of primary education, ethnic relations, cultural patrimony, international feminism, and colonial administration, among other inherently gendered issues in the social history of French Algeria." - James Smith Allen, American Historical Review "This book opens up an entire social universe detailing the vicissitudes of indigenous girls' schooling in French Algeria and the shifting politics of colonial education that remained largely concealed until now. Rogers' study stands out due to the originality of its approach, the freshness of its conceptualization, and the elegance and clarity of the prose." - Julia Clancy-Smith, University of Arizona "This work is a stunning achievement. It presents a fascinating and important contribution to the history of women, empire, and historical biography." - Whitney Walton, Purdue University
