Sarah Stickney Ellis (1799 1872) was a prolific writer on female
education and women's role in the world. She established a school
at Rawdon House, Hertfordshire, to give girls an intellectual and
moral training, as well as purely domestic skills, since as future
mothers they would be the primary teachers and moulders of the next
generation of society. The Women of England, published in 1839, was
one of her most successful works, and was an important contribution
to the debate on the position of women in society, particularly for
the middle classes. Although she argues that women were equal to
men, and morally superior, she does not question their legal and
social subordination, but intends them to use their influence in
their own sphere, and subtly, for the good of the family and
society in general. For more information on this author, see http:
