The Queen of Sheba
The Queen of Sheba
Emma Hart Willard founded the first permanent institution of higher learning
for women in America. None of the usual courses for women were even offered.
There were no cooking or needle work classes. Instead, she offered zoology,
geometry, trigonometry, and other subjects thought to be beyond the grasp of the
female mind. She was convinced that the female mind, if given a chance, could be
equal to the male mind.
