This week I was on an introductory teacher training course and it was really interesting. Lots was discussed, including the historical view that boys were first in line for an education.
I have chosen a quote from Chaper 1 of Mansfield Park:
“Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody. ”
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

I LOVE this quote, Rachel! Never paid attention to it until you pointed it out. Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a good one! So true! I just ordered a book: "The Jane Austen Guide to Life: Thoughtful Lessons for the Modern Woman" by Lori Smith which should prove very interesting considering your quote, Rachel.
