The expression «fille de bourgeois,» literally translating from French as «daughter of a bourgeois,» has deep historical roots and was widely used to describe girls from prosperous, socially privileged families. In French society, the bourgeoisie traditionally represented the middle and upper class, owning property and capital and holding significant positions in the economy and politics. Accordingly, a «fille de bourgeois» was raised in a particular cultural and social environment, one that valued education, manners, the arts, and adherence to certain social norms.
