Education of Girls in Eighteenth Century England and France The propereducationforyoungwomenhaslongbeena subjectfordebate inEurope.Inthe eighteenthcentury,the opinionsaboutwhatsortof educationgirlsshouldhave becomeincreasingly divided.ThroughoutEurope,the primarygoal of girls’educationwastoprepare themfortheirrolesas housewivesandmothers.Inthispaper,Iwill explore the similaritiesanddifferencesof ideologyand practice in eighteenthcenturyEnglandandFrance.Duringthisperiod,some radical beliefsaboutgirls’ educationbegantoarise to counterthe typicallylightweighteducationprovidedtoupperclassfemales. The ideologyregardinggirls’educationinthe eighteenthcenturywasbasicallythe same throughoutEurope.Womenwere believedtobe superficial,shallow,incapableof reasonorsound judgment,andintellectuallyinferior (Hill 44).The educationthatwasprovidedforgirlstherefore reflectedthisingrainedbelief.HarrietWatsonstatesthat“the aim of educationinthe 18th centurywas to produce adultswhoare able—andwilling—toplayspecificrolesinsociety (Greaves28)”. Considering the prevailingassumptionthatwomenare naturallyinferior,itisnotsurprisingthatwomen’seducation concentratedsolelyonawomanfulfillingthe social role asobedienthousewife.Womenwerenot believedcapable of the same intellectualrigorsthatmenwere,andtherefore weresupposedtodevote theirlife tobecomingagoodwife andmother.Hill quotesDr.JamesFordyce,authorof The Character and Conductof theFemale Sex in 1776, who referstowomenas“those whowere formedtodelight [men],notsomuch by an emulationof intellects, asbyexternal gracesanddecorations,unitedwiththe softervirtuesof the heart,andthe sprightliercharmsof the fancy” (Hill 50).Fordyce’scomment reinforcesthe beliefthatwomen’ssole purpose istobe attractive,loving,andentertaining. The greatestdifferencesineducationbetweenEnglandandFrance can be seeninthe education providedforthe lowerclass.The differencesbetweenthe twocountriescanbe attributedprimarilyto

Charity schoolsprovidedbasiceducationforthe poor.However,educational standardswerelow andcurriculum variedfromschool to school.Thislevel of educationwasconsideredsufficientforpoorgirls,and anythingfurtherwasdiscouraged.1 Figure A: Education for women in the working classes became accessible As the centuryprogressed,the nature of charityschoolsandof Protestanteducationbeganto evolve.The onsetof industrializationinEnglandinthe midtolate eighteenthcenturymeantthat 1 In the eighteenth century, English girlswerealso taught basic religion by means of memorizing catechisms,in the hopes of educating them in the Protestant religion.

In France,on the otherhand,educationforthe female poorwasprimarilyreligiousanddidnot trainthemfor a life outside of marriage –or evenoutside of the convent.Nothavinggone through the ProtestantReformation,France wasstill Catholicandtherefore conventschoolscontinuedtoexistas theyhad forhundredsof years.These conventswere concernedalmostexclusivelywithreligionand morality,andnunstaughtthe younggirlsthe virtuesof modestyandobedience.Unlike inEngland,girls were notpreparedfortheirrole andwork inlaterlife.Theywere insteadpreparedforreligiouslifeand 1 For Example, trainingin text files enabled girls to obtain employment in the factories.

Insteadof trainingnoble girlsinaccomplishments,SaintCyreducatedgirlsin “practical householdactivities”(Stock).Infact, SaintCyrprovideda“sensible religiouseducationaimed at secularlife,and…useful traininginthe householdarts” (Stock95). Saint Cyrwas certainlyan improvementovermanyotherFrenchboardingschools;however,itdidlittle toadvance egalitarian educationforgirls.Youngwomenwere still expectedtoconformtothe traditional domesticrole of housewifeandmother,andwere dissuadedfromengaginginmore intellectual pursuits. Movementtowardequal educationforbothgenderscame more readilyinEnglandthanin France as a resultof the effortsof the Unitarians,a radical religiousgroupthat“derivedchieflyfrom Protestantdissentof the eighteenthcentury” (Watts3).The Unitarians’beliefinthe importance of educationandknowledgeledthemtoquestionthe assumptionthatwomenwere intellectuallyinferior. As a result,they“[saw] the needforwomentobe well educatedbothfortheirownmoral and spiritual developmentandtofulfill theirtraditionalmaternal andcaringroles” (Watts8).The educationthey advocatedwasbasedon Enlightenmentideasof reasonandscience.Experience wasconsideredthe mostimportanttool for learning.Yet,inspite of theirconsiderableadvancestowardsequaleducation, the Unitariansstill expectedwomentofulfill the role of wifeandmother.Equal educationwasmeantto allowwomentobe goodcompanionsfortheirhusbands,and“to give rational amusementto themselveswhenalone”(Watts78).Nonetheless,the Unitarianspushedthe boundariesof female educationandpavedthe wayfor furtheradvancesinthe nineteenthcentury.
