Revolutionary movement for women—the rights to secure education
We are quite lucky to live in an age where we are freely accessible to education and granted the chance of securing a higher education same as men if we want.However,during the late 19th,what we now take for granted was a big dream for women living in that age.After reading the history of women’s fighting for an education,I am now holding plenty of gratitude for the appreciate work they have done.For,without them,the adovators of feminisim,we probably are still living with little respect and bestowed with little rights in various areas.
According to the article:the women who went to university before the second world war faced formidable obstacles: ridiculed by fellow students, refused teaching by some lecturers, denounced in newspaper editorials and often pulled out of study unceremoniously because of problems at home. Most had to overcome scrappy early education, consisting at best of oddities imparted by governesses who rarely knew much themselves. “Of all the arithmetic I learned,” said Constance Maynard, one of the earliest women students in residence in Cambridge, “I can call to mind only one single rule, and it ran thus: ‘Turn the fraction upside-down and carry on as before.’” A fellow student could recall being taught nothing more profound than when black silk stockings were first worn in England and what to do in a thunderstorm at night.
And that was the case in England,a much more industralized country comparied with China at that time.Though the article does mention the the situation in China,it’s quite predictable that things for women could be worse at least could be no better.
The development of history is propelled by a group of pioneers.Thus the generation of the first women who firghting for education are group of pioneers as they propel the development of human,not only for women.
