In this episode, join me, Meredith Busch, for a journey through the history of female education. From Christine de Pizan to Mary Wollstonecraft, from Anne of Green Gable to Catherine II, we'll discuss what's been done for women, how the feminization of teaching helped advance women's access to and desire for education, and how university enrollment of women has surpassed that of men over the last 150 years. For that specific data, see https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d07/tables/dt07_178.asp.
