Three Quaker sisters – Hannah, Elizabeth, and Katharine Shipley – decided they wanted to start a school. Not another finishing school where girls learned to cook and crochet and behave in society, but a rigorous academic school specifically to train girls in languages and the sciences so they could get into Bryn Mawr and other colleges that were springing up for women in the late 19th century. In this podcast, you will learn about the evolution of girls’ education from before the founding of the country, and some special personalities that populated the Shipley School for its first 75 years. Welcome to “Courage for the Deed, Grace for the Doing: The Shipley Sisters and Educating Girls.”
