Before Vassar Opened is a historical account of the higher education of women in America, written by James Monroe Taylor and published in 1914. The book covers the period before the opening of Vassar College, which was the first women's college in the United States to offer a liberal arts education. Taylor examines the efforts made by women and their advocates to gain access to higher education, and the obstacles they faced in achieving this goal. He also explores the various institutions that emerged to provide education to women, including seminaries, academies, and normal schools. The book offers a detailed look at the social and cultural context of the time, as well as the political and economic factors that influenced the development of women's education. Overall, Before Vassar Opened provides a valuable insight into the history of women's education in America, and the struggles and achievements of those who fought for it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
