Hi, everyone!
Plum, thank you for showing us some important details about the vote for men in the Victorian era. I’m now making a time line to learn that era. It seems difficult for me to imagine their efforts toward the vote.
Last night, I read an interesting article in TIME. It is ‘A mother’s story,’ telling us Barack Obama’s mother’s uncommon life. She lived so dramatic, international life that I wanted to read her own story, but she had already gone without her own memoir in 1995. I didn’t know about it at all. I suppose she had always spent her life time for herself, not her husband, not even her children. It’s a very attractive, amazing story.
So, see you later. Good bye.

Hi, ladies!!!
It has been another warm day, hasn’t it? I really enjoyed this lovely weather on the bus to my work place, which was Gakusen University, Toyota. How did I enjoy it? Actually I started to doze, of course without noticing it, gently being rocked on the bus, and I almost missed the stop.
Today, please let me write something about women’s higher education in Victoria’s reign.
Probably, women’s higher education began with the establishment of Governesses’ Benevolent Institution in 1841, which is in the first segment of the era, as I mentioned last night. At this Institution, governesses received higher education to increase their knowledge and acquire more information for the betterment of their profession.
In the 1840s, two colleges were founded. In 1848, Queen’s College was established for women who intended to teach, and in 1849 Bedford College for Women was founded and run by a woman, about whom I do not know very well at the moment.
Queen’s College and Bedford College provided secondary-type education for intending governesses and teachers, and other interested girls and women.
In the 1850s, again, two colleges were founded. In 1850, The North London Collegiate School for Girls was established by Frances Buss, and in 1854 Cheltenham Ladies College was founded and Dorothea Beale was Head of the College from 1858-1904.
The North London Collegiate School for Girls and Cheltenham Ladies College offered first-class secondary education to girls.
It is said that most of the Victorian feminist activists, journalists and theorists graduated from one of these colleges.
Interesting, isn’t it?
I hope you enjoyed reading this message about women’s higher education in Victoria’s reign.
I think I had better get ready for bed now, since I worked hard today and got tired. Goodnight, my precious friends. Talk to you tomorrow…
