"""This rich collection charts the creative mixture of experimentalism and tenderness that informed the growing field of educational literature authored by women 1690-1850. Education in and through literary print forms promoted imaginative collaboration between adults and children. Where women were made responsible for education or claimed it, they also complicated the femininity that was learned. A dazzling variety of genres and voices are brought to new prominence."" -Ros Ballaster, University of Oxford, Mansfield College"
