Women, gender, and sexuality in American history.
|
| Summary |
This study analyzes the educational objectives of the founders, faculty, students, and alumnae of two Georgia schools that sought to prepare young women for the new circumstances of the post-war South: Spelman Seminary of Atlanta, founded to provide a Christian education for African American women and girls, and Lucy Cobb Institute of Athens, established to educate young white ladies. Focusing on the years 1880 and 1925, an examination of these two private secondary schools provides a way to explore beliefs about women's roles and duties, racial and class divisions between women, and changes in expectations of women's citizenship rights and duties |
