Should Women Study The Classics? (1891)

Should Women Study The Classics? is a book written by George Gilbert Ramsay first published in 1891. The book discusses the question of whether women should be allowed to study the classics which were traditionally seen as a male domain. Ramsay argues that women have the same intellectual capacity as men and should be given the same opportunities to study the classics. He also highlights the benefits of classical education for women including the development of critical thinking skills and the ability to appreciate literature and art. Ramsay addresses common objections to women studying the classics such as the belief that it is too difficult for them or that it will make them unfeminine. He argues that these objections are based on outdated and sexist attitudes and that women should be encouraged to pursue their intellectual interests. The book is a significant historical document that sheds light on the struggle for women's education in the late 19th century.Opening Lecture At The Arts Course At Queen Margaret College Glasgow November 3 1891.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
