Madame Luce's institution sat within the more general context of debates about educational policies in Algeria. This chapter highlights how gendered debates determined the withdrawal of support for Luce's school and erased the figure of the Muslim girl pupil from the colonial agenda. In her place emerged the embroiderer who had no pretensions to becoming French, but who nonetheless was an indigenous woman with a useful skill.
