Some of the theories Genlis adopts in the education of the eponymous children have their roots in Rousseau's \""Emile\"". However, Genlis herself suggested that Rousseau knew little of the practical education of children. This work is placed within the context of the late eighteenth-century debate on female education. > Some of the theories Genlis adopts in the education of the eponymous children have their roots in Rousseau's \""Emile\"".
