Eugénie Allix Luce
Eugénie Allix Luce (1804—1882), was a French educator. She was a pioneer for women's educator in Algeria, where she founded the first school open to girls, the Luce-Benaben school.
She ran away from her husband from France to French Algeria in 1832. In 1845, she founded the first girls' school in Alger. It was the first school open for girls in Algeria. She successfully requested state financial support for her school from the colonial authorities by stating that her school was an important method for the integration between French colonists and Arabian indigenous inhabitants. Her and her school became a central figure in the colonial French authorities debate around the education system introduced in the new colony of Algeria.
