About the author

Éline Roch is a French author listed by the Bibliothèque nationale de France, but the available biographical record appears to be very sparse. The main work that can be confirmed during this search is Ce que vaut une femme: traité d'éducation morale et pratique des jeunes filles.

That book presents advice on the moral, domestic, and practical education of girls, and it helps place Roch in the world of late-19th-century conduct literature. Even with limited personal details available, her writing survives as a useful window into the expectations placed on women and girls in her era.
