[possibly by creating an image of young girls participating in an educational activity not afforded to them previous to topic time period] What am I writing about? Why is this relevant to today’s understandings about education and the role that women/girls contributions to society are effected by the past. **__** The time period i wish to cover in this historiography on the education of girls and women in America from the colonial days through to the beginning of the Twentieth Century-a period spanning from 1700 through until 1900. [needed to increase my original proposal as research of other historians showed significant changes in attitudes and access to women in education after 1840’s and the creation of and inclusion of women’s institutions of higher learning] **_________________________** **__________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________** **Thesis Statement** **_** //**Women’s role in society changed drastically at the beginning of the twentieth century. Did the access to education from the colonial days to the turn of the century have an impact on those changes of women from the private sphere to the public sphere? Girls and women in America increasingly looked to improve their access to education; The change in society was reflected in the expectations of the curriculum available to women throughout the 150years following the American Revolution.**// **________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Women and access to education** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**1.** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">___Enlightenment influences the “personal rewards of education” Nash and Tolley and Kelley and the others I have read show the influence of European thoughts on the need for women/girls to have access to education and strengthen their minds as men/boys. These ideas were reflecting upon the constitutional beliefs in equal mental ability. Each author looked at data regarding social attitudes as well as the data showing courses offered to girls at academies and through the use of private tutors. Social structure of the time created access to only wealthy. Responsible parents were encourage to educate their children even girls to allow the new republic better educated public-even girls-whose realm of actives in adulthood would mostly be in domesticated/gendered roles-strictly adhered to until changes brought about in early 1800’s. Statistics used reflect the lens of the new social history. Mostly used in by Tolley in science education/and Nash. Kelley is more gendered in those views comparing the social constructs and contexts.___________________________________________________ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> 3._____Religious leaders during 2nd great awakening wanted women to participate in missions and expansions of evangelical teachings and felt allowing/access of girls would create better missionaries as well as create stable wives and mothers.___________________________________________ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**_______________________________________________ Conclusion & Lead-In _____** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">most of those given access were more of the well to do in economic status and were white. women enjoyed learning for the pleasure and rewards education provided-more so as industrialization created more opportunities._Reading and private reflections drove many to look for further education outside of the home settings of the early colonial period. As the 1800’s moved forward more competition between and establishment of women’s academies brought more attention to the education of girls/women.______________________________________ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Subject Matter and Curriculm** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**1._______** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rise of Sunday School movement and the popularity of more women entering the teaching profession for economic stability.At the same time that men were leaving that profession for more lucrative opportunities._____________________________________________________ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> 3._** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Science and mathematics used to be thought of as an expectation for girls in their curriculum. this reflected the lack of importance of scientific jobs during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries.

The ability ot participate in the educational process has been shown by all the authors I have read. Women were thought by the evangelicals to posses the same souls as men and therefore they contained the mental ability to reason and thought. Most of the authors looked through the lens of gender, and social class. Some references were made to the influence of race, yet during these time periods studied most access was given to whites. While the authors note that there are studies that focus on the education of African Americans and other minorities for the purposes of these studies focused on the education of the middle class.**// <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**________** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ _____________// <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**_____________________________________________________** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Postscript (further research proposals)** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**________________** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________// <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**________________________________________________**
