A vision for girls : gender, education, and the Bryn Mawr School
"Baltimore's Bryn Mawr School was founded in the 1880s, the first college-preparatory school for girls in the United States. Unlike other educational institutions at the time, the Bryn Mawr School championed intellectual equality of the sexes. Established with the goal of providing girls with an education identical to that of boys in quality and compass, the school endeavored to prepare girls to excel in a public sphere traditionally dominated by men."
