I choose this article on women and education because I believe it tied in with my other blog which was a story wrote by Virginia Wolfe, “Thinking About Shakespeare’s Sister.” Her story was mainly about women and how they were denied the right to an education and in “Women and Education” discusses women and their education in the past two centuries and the milestones that have been reached. Some interesting points the article states is, that women were looked upon as lower class and therefore didn’t deserve an education and also a women who did get educated was discontented with her current status and irritated with men. It was also said an educated women would through of the social balance of time. Some of the milestones mentioned with the opening of Oberlin College in 1833 which was a the nation’s first college is accept women and blacks, also the Convention of Seneca Falls, and 1972 Title XI are to name a few.
Interesting page and a nice connection with the last post--- watch grammar and proofreading.
