Woman's Unfitness For Higher Coeducation (1903)

By Ely Van De Warker and 1841-1910 Van de Warker, Ely

Book Overview

""Women's Unfitness for Higher Coeducation"" is a book written by Ely Van De Warker and published in 1903. The book argues that women are not fit for higher education and should not be allowed to attend coeducational institutions. The author believes that women's physical and mental capabilities are inferior to those of men, and that higher education would be detrimental to their health and well-being. He also argues that women's natural role is in the home, and that education beyond basic literacy is unnecessary for them to fulfill their duties as wives and mothers. The book reflects the prevailing attitudes towards women's education at the turn of the 20th century, when many believed that women's intellectual pursuits were a threat to societal norms and gender roles. Despite its outdated and sexist views, the book provides valuable insight into the history of women's education and the challenges faced by women seeking to pursue higher learning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
