A propos de cet article

Paperback. This edition offers texts from Bathsua Makin and Mary More, and Robert Whitehalls response to Mores argument. Makin describes the appropriate education for London merchants daughters, arguing that girls should be educated and should aspire to follow learned women in history, and that educated women improve their families and themselves. More argues that women have the right to an education, and that such an education shows that the inequality of married women under English law is a man-made institution. Mores argument drew objections from her Oxford reader, Robert Whitehall, who preserved her manuscript with his own. Makin and More enjoyed a measure of public recognition and esteem, yet after their deaths, they and their texts were largely ignored until the late twentieth century. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

Synopsis

This edition offers texts from Bathsua Makin and Mary More, and Robert Whitehall's response to More's argument. Makin describes the appropriate education for London merchants' daughters, arguing that girls should be educated and should aspire to follow learned women in history, and that educated women improve their families and themselves. More argues that women have the right to an education, and that such an education shows that the inequality of married women under English law is a man-made institution. More's argument drew objections from her Oxford reader, Robert Whitehall, who preserved her manuscript with his own. Makin and More enjoyed a measure of public recognition and esteem, yet after their deaths, they and their texts were largely ignored until the late twentieth century.
