Art and Education for Women in 19th Century Boston.
Efland, Arthur D.
Studies in Art Education, v26 n3 p133-40 Spr 1985
Art was introduced into women's education in 19th century Boston as a kind of finishing school treatment to equip them for marriage and later for careers as school teachers. Common school art emphasized practical application. Feminine art education, by contrast, promoted the teaching of art as high culture. (Author/RM)
