| Summary | "La Maternelle" by Léon Frapié is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young woman, Rose, who faces a sequence of life challenges after becoming orphaned and losing her fiancé due to financial difficulties. Determined to avoid boredom and find purpose, she pursues a job in education, ultimately accepting a position as a cleaner at a primary school, despite her higher education credentials presenting a social barrier. The opening of the novel introduces us to Rose's circumstances following the death of her father, her struggle to find employment, and her acceptance of the demeaning role of a woman in service at a small school in a poor Parisian neighborhood. Despite her educational background, Rose faces disdain and discrimination, as her societal status diminishes, forcing her to embrace a life of manual labor. The narrative captures her emotional turmoil as she adjusts to her new role, contemplating her identity while engaging with the school’s children, ultimately revealing her inner conflict between aspiration and reality.
