Virgin Joan of Arc vs whore Marianne
Joan of Arc replaced Marianne as the national symbol of France under Vichy as her status as one of France's best loved heroines gave her widespread appeal while at the same time the image of Joan as devoutly Catholic and patriotic fitted well with Vichy's traditionalist message.[16] Though Joan had always been a popular heroine, the way in which she replaced Marianne as a symbol of France was striking: Joan had an entire school textbook, Miracle de Jeanne by René Jeanneret, devoted to her, which was mandatory reading; and the anniversary of her death was made into an occasion for speeches in the schools emphasizing her as a martyr for France - this had no precedent in post-1789 French history.[17] Vichy ideology broadly divided women into two categories, "the virgin and the whore," with Joan portrayed as the ideal virgin and Marianne as the archetypal whore.[18] In contrast to the secular educational system under the Third Republic, Catholic teachings were reintroduced into the educational system, and the voices that Joan heard in her head that she believed were angels telling to her save France were presented in the school textbooks as indeed the voices of angels.[19] The Miracle de Jeanne declared "the Voices did speak!" (republican school texts had strongly implied Joan was just mentally ill).[19] To accommodate a traditionalist message for school girls with the fact that Joan was a soldier, Vichy school books presented her as a "meek and frail" girl only able to achieve her feats on the battlefield due to divine intervention via the voices in her head, turning her into God's instrument of vengeance against England.[20] Since Joan's path was presumably not the one that God had chosen for most Frenchwomen, it was Joan before she started hearing voices in her head that Frenchwomen were to emulate, namely a girl who was portrayed as extremely submissive and docile towards men and authority.[20] The fact that Joan had suffered and died for France was used to reinforce the message to students that France would have to suffer considerably to purge itself of la décadence, as the process of suffering had just begun in 1940.[21] One Vichy newspaper stated: "Joan of Arc reminds us how much we must sacrifice and suffer because, today like then, our country has slipped along the paths of divisiveness and selfishness. Enthusiasm and faith remain the necessary virtues from which will emerge our moral and social rebirth. French youth will hear sacred voices. If it were not to, the nation's last chance at salvation would be lost forever."[22]
That Joan was illiterate led her to be presented as a role model for French girls whom Vichy's ideologues insisted needed only the minimum of education with the Vichy "court writer" René Benjamin saying in a speech that women with higher education always turned into prostitutes.[23] Another textbook for girls stated that Joan should be their model and then asked what was intended as a num question: "Can a true woman be a pure intellectual?"[23] To underline this point, one Vichy school textbook insisted that Joan was to be their role model while at the same time concluding that they should not follow her example literally, saying: "Some of the most notable heroes in our history have been women. But nevertheless, girls should preferably exercise the virtues of patience, persistence and resignation. They are destined to tend to the running of the household ... It is in love that our future mothers will find the strength to practise those virtues which best befit their sex and their condition.""[24] In this regard, the Joan of Vichy was never depicted as fighting, and instead played the role of a surrogate mother to the men under her, with textbooks insisting she loved to cook, wash their clothing and make their beds.[25] One speaker at the Vichy school for training the future elite at Uriage, Anne-Marie Hussenot, stated: "a woman should remember that, in the case of Joan of Arc, or other illustrious women throughout the exceptional mission that was confided to them, they first of all performed humbly and simply their woman's role".[26] The fact that the Red Army had women fighting in its ranks was presented in Vichy propaganda with horror as an example of women "annihilating" their sex by performing a masculine role.[18] Finally, the fact that Joan had fought against England, depicted as an aggressive and greedy nation draining France out of its wealth, was presented as a part of a continuous struggle continuing to the present.[27] The cruelty of the English in torturing and executing Joan was played up in school books as showing the contrast between English evil vs. French good
