Description
There were over 150 private day schools in early nineteenth century Copenhagen. They were run by literate women who taught everything from the basic 3R's to history, science and literature. This is the story of these schools, their teacher-owners, and the girls who attended them. It is also the story of the socialisation of middle class girls at the turn of the eighteenth to nineteenth century in Denmark.
