The Feminisation of Horticulture in England as seen from France at the Turn of the 20th Century
Résumé
I propose, in this paper, to contribute to a transnational history of gardens through the prism of gender studies. More specifically, I will look at the way in which the feminisation of horticulture and gardens in England at the turn of the twentieth century was exploited by the French press. The years 1895-1910 saw a flourishing of press campaigns calling on France to follow the American, German and, above all, English examples by opening up horticultural schools and the horticultural professions to women. To what extent do the editorial and political lines of newspapers provide a distorting prism for the situation of women in gardening and horticulture in these two countries? I will base my paper on a cross-analysis of the women's/feminist press and the specialist trade press in France, in order to highlight the effects of polarity within the debates, particularly around female figures such as the Countess of Warwick and Frances Wolseley.
