To know what’s happening today, let’s travel back to the times when women brought a significant change to the American education system. From 1790 until 1870 marked a milestone achievement in the history of America. It was this time when girls in American institutes outperformed their male counterparts.
In the mid-18th century, women in the United States were considered illiterate. Walking on this crooked path, education was the guiding lamp for women, especially young girls.
While the outperformance was at its peak during the last couple of decades in the 19th century, a famous accusation was circulated that restricted their movements in the education sector.
Did you know what that accusation was? Well, it might sound absurd, but it was rumoured that women using algebra, harm their reproductive capabilities. This, later on, resulted in the division of classes on the basis of gender.
Though this tale of women’s education in the US dates back a few decades older than a century, a defining change has been brought in the education sector. Today, women are not just limited to classes, but they are influencing people worldwide to follow their dream.
