Wikipedia, April 10, 2015: (Marie Souvestre (28 April 1830-30 March 1905) was a feminist educator who sought to develop independent minds in young women. She was born in Brest, France ... founded the girls' boarding schools Les Ruches ("the beehives") in Fontainebleau, France ... and Allenswood, outside London, where her most famous pupil was Eleanor Roosevelt, for whom she became a maternal figure. Eleanor was so greatly influenced by Souvestre and her feminist beliefs, that she went on to forge a political career)
