The Role Of Freethinkers In Enhancing The Education Of Girls In Britain In The Pre-1840s
Authors : Benamer Hamza . Sahli Fatiha .
Abstract
This article proposes that the Freethinkers in Britain were the original promoters of girls’ education in the pre-1840s. The study adopts the descriptive and analytical approach to address the proposed claim. Also, it rests on two central arguments to demonstrate the Freethinkers’ heritage on the education and empowerment of girls. The first argument is the Freethinkers' advocacy for a more inclusive education, which we refer to as secular education. The second one is their support for science-based curriculum in girls' education. The analysis showed that the Freethinkers advanced strong opinions, not only about religious issues, but also about the education of women. More importantly, they were direct points of reference for the feminist advocates of girls’ education who came later.
