The Empowerment of Education for Women

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the way in which women have achieved empowerment through education as shown through the works of Austen, Bronte and Wollstonecraft. It looks at their personal experiences as well as the experiences of women in their works.

From the paper:

"It should not surprise us that Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and Mary Wollstonecraft should in their works emphasize the importance of education to the women of their own generation. Each of these women themselves had personal experience with the ways in which education had widened their own horizons. And each also had knowledge of women who had not received any education and thus had the already circumscribed role allotted to women made even smaller. These three women understood from the measure of their own lives that what freedom existed for women, and what power was available to women, would come through education."
