Summary: "Fenelon's Treatise on the Education of Daughters" by Fénelon is a philosophical treatise written in the late 17th century, originally published in 1688. The book addresses the often-neglected subject of female education, arguing for the importance of proper instruction for girls just as much as for boys, emphasizing their crucial role in family and society. Fénelon's work is aimed at educators and parents, advocating for a well-rounded and moral upbringing for young women to prepare them for their future roles. The opening of the treatise sets the stage for a critical examination of the conventional perspectives on female education. Fénelon argues that the neglect of educating daughters stems from societal customs and beliefs that view women as needing little instruction beyond domestic duties. He contrasts this neglect with the extensive resources dedicated to boys’ education and highlights the vital influence women have on the family and community. By presenting powerful reasoning, Fénelon insists that educating girls is essential to fostering virtuous, capable, and intelligent women who can positively impact society. His work emphasizes the moral, practical, and spiritual dimensions of education, intending to inspire a re-evaluation of the educational standards applied to girls.
