Document Summary

Less opportunity for education of catholic girls, was mostly for elite: moral education more than intellectual one, girls attended school for shorter period of time, so often didn"t learn how to write, writing would enable expression. Women"s reading: even though printing press invented in 1500s, books were not cheap until 1700s, most reading was religious until 1750, when advise manuals, guides, translations of classical texts, newspapers, romances, etc. were more widely available. Humanist education: humanism: liking greek and roman intellectual thought and promoting the classical style of learning through reading its literature, education for the public good. Juan luis vives: humanist education only for queens; other women should have religious education: women learning through tutors/independently, male humanists celebrating them by saying that they had become more like men. Courts and salons: very, very few women graduated from universities, elite families sending their talented/attractive daughters to serve in courts, where they came into.
