: Denise’s humanitarian social initiatives recall those inspired by Marguerite Boucicaut. During the 1870s Boucicaut established a library for his employees, provided evening classes in foreign languages, music, and fencing, and instituted a pension fund financed entirely from store revenues. By the early years of the twentieth century, paternalist concern for the ‘great family’ had produced paid sick leave and free health care, paid maternity leave, gifts at the birth of each child and family allowances for employees with three children or more, relief for widows and orphans, and even paid annual holidays.
