This title examines training women in the arts of citizenship.
Education played a decisive role in recasting women's collective
experience in post-Revolutionary and antebellum America. Asking how
and why women shaped their lives anew through education, Mary
Kelley measures the significant transformation in individual and
social identities fostered by female academies and seminaries. With
a curriculum that matched the course of study at male colleges,
women's liberal learning, Kelley argues, cultivated one of the most
profound changes in gender relations in the nation's history: the
movement of women into public life. Kelley's analysis demonstrates
that female academies and seminaries taught women crucial writing,
oration, and reasoning skills that prepared them to claim the
rights and obligations of citizenship.
