| 释义 |
A casquette girl, originally known as a fille à la cassette (girl with a cassette) but also known historically as a casket girl or a Pelican girl,[1] was one of the women brought from France to the French colonies of Louisiana to marry.[2][3] The name derives from the small chests, known as casquettes, in which they carried their clothes.[3][4] They were conspicuous by reason of their virtue. Normally women were supplied to the colonists by raking the streets of Paris for undesirables, or by emptying the houses of correction. The casquette girls, however, were recruited from church charitable institutions, usually orphanages and convents, and, although poor, were practically guaranteed to be virgins.[5] For this reason it later became a matter of pride in Louisiana to show descent from them.[3] The first consignment reached Mobile in 1704, Biloxi in 1719, and New Orleans in 1728.[3][6] They inspired Victor Herbert to write Naughty Marietta which was turned into a musical in 1935. In the 1947 movie, The Foxes Of Harrow, Maureen Sullivan is costumed as a Casquette Girl during a ball. Musicians Phaedra Greene, Elsa Greene, and Ryan Graveface formed the Savannah, Georgia-based band Casket Girls[7][8]. In 2018, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre performed the ballet "The Casket Girls" in Carmel, Indiana. With music composed by Cory Gabel and choreography by Gregory Hancock, it was inspired by the original casquette girls, telling the origin of vampires in New Orleans.[9][10] See also
