Early American Women's Education Movement. Catalog of the Officers and Members of The Seminary For Female Teachers. Salem Massachusetts. Printed at the Register Press. April 1839. Women's Academy and Seminary Archive recording the first important movement of women into higher education in the United States seminary was synonymous with "academy" and did not have the religious connotation of today-This is an important point but seems awkwardly placed. Maybe either use the phrase “into secular higher education†in first sentence or in next sentence say “In the 1800’s the Female Academy and Seminary Movement transformed American educational norms allowing women the opportunity to receive secular non-religious college-level education<br /> <br /> Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial…When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. This document dates 10 years before Seneca Falls. unknown

19 cent Women Education, Wheaton Female Seminary Catalog
1869 Women's Education First Movement: Wheaton Female Seminary in Massachusetts Catalog
Women's Education Movement: Wheaton Female Seminary Catalog 1869. Chronological Catalog "tracing the history of the school from 1834 to the publication date of 1869. Blue wrappers. Founded in 1834 Wheaton is one of the oldest institutions of higher education for women in the United States. Wheaton's founding was brought about when Eliza Wheaton Strong the daughter of Judge Laban. Wheaton died at the age of thirty-nine. Eliza Baylies Chapin Wheaton the judge's daughter-in-law persuaded him to memorialize his daughter by founding a female seminary. The family called upon noted women's educator Mary Lyon for assistance in establishing the seminary. Lyon created the first curriculum with the goal that it be equal in quality to those of men's colleges. She also provided the first principal Eunice Caldwell. Wheaton Female Seminary opened in Norton Massachusetts on 22 April 1835 with 50 students and three teachers. Mary Lyon and Eunice Caldwell left Wheaton to open Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in 1837 now Mount Holyoke College. Following their departure Wheaton endured a period of fluctuating enrollment and frequent changes in leadership until 1850 when Caroline Cutler Metcalf was recruited as the new principal. Mrs. Metcalf made the hiring of outstanding faculty her top priority bringing in educators who encouraged students to discuss their ideas rather than to memorize facts. The most notable addition to the faculty were Lucy Larcom who introduced the study of English Literature and founded the student literary magazine The Rushlight ; and Mary Jane Cragin who used innovative techniques to teach geometry and made mathematics the favorite study of many students. At the time that this description is being written no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time.<br /> <br /> Women's Academy and Seminary Archive recording the first important movement of women into higher education in the United States seminary was synonymous with "academy" and did not have the religious connotation of today.

19 cent Women Education, teachers
Photo Album: a Life of Freedom & Sacrifice: The Young Teachers of Cornwall College 1920s
Women’s Education. Photo Album: Truro Cornwall Teacher Training College. Truro Cornwall UK: 1925-1927. Oblong octavo. Bradbound brown boards patterned for leather effect “Album†stamped in gilt on cover. Modest rubbing to the front hinge and slight bumping at the corners. 164 glossy-finish snapshot photographs of the female college students and their life at Cornwall in a variety of sizes including 3.5†x 5.5†2.5†x 4.5†3.5†x 2.5†inches both black and white and sepia. Most are captioned in white ink. Slight warp to some photographs from being pasted to the pages and occasion residue from fingerprints. Beautiful impressionistic portraits of the life of these hopeful young teachers in Cornwall. In addition to the many vivid photos of the teachers going for outings and picnicks “Help yourself to the cream†and lively portraits “the long and short of it†under a photograph of a tall young woman smiling ruefully there are photographs of the ancient city of Cornwall which carry a beautiful spectral quality. <br /> <br /> In the 1920s teaching was one of the only pursuits available to women who wanted economic enfranchisement outside of waged domestic service. However there were many restrictions placed on female teachers; The women we see smiling in these photos although choosing liberation in one sense also faced much personal sacrifice. These women had to live morally exemplary lives by the rigorous contemporary standards since they were entrusted to raise the youth. Additionally until 1944 in the UK no married women were allowed to work as teachers. If a woman teacher married she had to resign from her job; if she was already married she was sacked. Some women found a way around the marriage bars by marrying in secret and then living apart from their husband or by having a very long engagement. Most female teachers however remained single in a time when marriage and motherhood signified adult female identity. The tensions between two identities-- that of the professional teacher and that of the feminine woman-- coupled with the influence of the suffrage movement and systematic unfair treatment in the teacher's unions led to teachers becoming some of the most ardent feminists of the movement. unknown
