The book highlights the significant advancements and transformations in the education of girls in England over a fifty-year period, emphasizing the societal and cultural shifts that led to greater educational opportunities for women. Zimmern aims to document the important milestones and influential figures in this educational renaissance, making it relevant to both educators and the general reader. The opening of the book sets the stage for the discussion by reflecting on the state of girls' education before 1848, illustrating the historical context of women's roles and educational access. Zimmern references the ideas of philosophers like Plato and contrasts them with the realities women faced due to societal norms and restrictions. She highlights various societal influences, including the church and changes following the Norman Conquest, which impacted educational opportunities for women. The narrative suggests that the revival of women's education emerged as a response to a broader democratic demand for equality and access to knowledge, marking the early groundwork toward improved educational structures for girls in England.
