Description
Summary:Baptists, like other Nonconformists, believed that the home was an important centre for education for boys and girls. Education for girls, however, often focused on training in domesticity and manners. As the eighteenth century progressed, and education began to move outside the home, women found new freedom and financial independence as they opened schools. Tracing some of those developments, this article examines the work of two women: Martha (Smith) Trinder (1736-1790) and Henrietta Neale (1752-1802).
