From the beginning of the seventeenth century, English society
started to become preoccupied with education and how people
acquired it. It is all the more surprising, then, that there should
be relatively few early modern texts by Englishwomen devoted to the
question of how one should learn. The four texts printed here are
principally concerned with language and arithemetic. One of the
reasons for the paucity of such writings is that many commentators
viewed women's ability to write as a threat to social stability.
The education of women was at best ad hoc. A few attended dame
schools, and the wealthy could afford private tutors. Among her own
family and friends, however, the individual learned girl was often
celebrated, and instances of formal praise act as forewords to some
of the texts printed in this volume.
