Ambivalence Towards Women's Education in the Eighteenth Century: The Thoughts of Dr. Vicesimus Knox II.
Overview & Synopsis
Dr. Knox's writings illustrate eighteenth century England's ambivalence to women's education. He displayed a theoretical appreciation for feminine intellectual abilities and postulated feminine intellectual equality.
