An introduction to what Woman's Place is all about!

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.

In this week’s episode, we take a brief journey throughout time and the western world to understand the role of women and the evolution of woman’s place. From ancient Sparta to Medieval England, from Victorian times to WWII, the idea of what a woman should be has morphed time and again while maintaining some of the same themes. This is only an introductory look at woman’s place in the world to whet our appetite for more in-depth episodes in the coming weeks.
