Education for Women

Up until the 1820s most girls did not go to school past elementary school. In 1821 one school for girls opened in New York. Then in 1837 another school for girls was opened South Hadley Massachusetts. In the same year Ohio let four women attend Ohio's Oberlin College. African American women could not really get an education either. A school in Connecticut admitted an African American girl and there was a huge problem because the white people did not want desegregated education.
