Question

"[T]he education of young ladies, in this country, should be conducted upon principles very different from what it is in Great Britain, and in some respects, different from what it was when we were part of a monarchial empire....From the numerous avocations from their families, to which a professional life exposes gentlemen in America, a principal share of the instruction of children naturally devolves upon the women. It becomes us therefore to prepare them by a suitable education, for the discharge of this most important duty of mothers."

Benjamin Rush, "Thoughts Upon Female Education" (1787)
