Higher Education of Women in England and America, 1865-1920

This study, first published in 1993, traces the path of women toward intellectual emancipation from eighteenth-century precedents, through the hard-won access to college education in the nineteenth-century, to the triumphs of the early 1900s. The author compares women''s experiences in both the US and England, and will be of interest to students of history, education and gender studies.
