Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a lively history of Virginia's State Female Normal School, framed against the era of its founding and beyond. Beginning with the school's opening in 1884 as the vanguard of progressive education for young women, the author takes us through a century of lessons, student life, and the school's evolution. The faculty and graduates of the Normal School were central figures in shaping the educational landscape of Virginia, battling to open doors for women in academia, empowering countless students to forge new paths, and playing key roles in the development of Virginia's public school system. This volume draws from an array of sources including speeches, journals and letters, providing a picture of the Normal School's outsized influence on the Commonwealth's social, political, and educational history. This book will appeal to anyone interested in women's history, Virginia history, or the history of education in America.
