Female Education in Canada

Paper Summary:

This essay argues that a range of ideological and social factors - from the ideological cult of domesticity to religious-based sexism to economic factors - contributed to the structural disadvantages that impeded development of female education in Canada for generations.

From the Paper:

"Any discussion of the history of female education in the British North American colonies must take into consideration the complexity of the forces that influenced and shaped female education in the different political jurisdictions and contexts that defined British North America and later Canada."
