This book outlines the lives of six female members of the Irish
Ascendancy, and describes their involvement with educational
provision for poor children in Ireland at the end of the long
eighteenth century. It argues that these women were moved by
empathy and by a sense of duty, and that they were motivated by
political considerations, pragmatism and, especially, religious
belief. The book highlights the women's agency and locates their
contribution in international and literary contexts; and by
exploring sources and evidence not previously considered, it
generates an enhanced understanding of Ascendancy women's
involvement with the provision of elementary education for poor
Irish children. This book will appeal to scholars and researchers
in the fields of Education and History of Education. It will also
have broad appeal for those interested in Gender and Women's
Studies, in Georgian Ireland and in the history of Ascendancy
families and estates.
