Dr. Marilene Henry’s fascination with both French culture and world history serves up a feast for readers and students alike. The newest French language teacher to join Wakefield Country Day School’s staff, Henry is also the author of Monumental Accusations, an exploration of French involvement in World War I.
“I lived in France for many years,” explains the Belgianborn Henry. “I remembered always, in every little village, there was a statue of a soldier.” Inspired by these monuments of dying and suffering men, Henry researched and wrote her first nonfiction work.
Following her physicist husband to the U.S. nearly 20 years ago, Henry attended George Mason University where she majored in economics and French. Her doctorate in French is from the University of Virginia. Before coming to Wakefield, she taught at Fauquier High School, Germanna College and George Mason.
Henry’s passion for history will lead her back to France this summer as translator for a group of 40 American Zouaves, the colorful “New York 5th” Civil War reenactment regiment. Touring for over a week, the group will visit Paris, Rheims, Waterloo
