In 1870, the Elementary Education Act brought compulsory primary schooling and with it the active and passive female franchise for the newly established School Boards. This study examines how women discussed these new rights and generated opportunities for women in the election campaigns, administration and teaching profession. I also show how the London School Board implemented the ideological programme of reforming working-class pupils in the hope of generating an improved nation and contributing to a successful future amidst fin-de-siècle fears of decay.
Translation of the abstract (German)
Im Jahr 1870 brachte der Elementary Education Act allgemeine Grundschulbildung. Gleichzeitig durften Frauen für die neuen Schulräte kandidieren und wählen. Meine Studie untersucht, wie Frauen ihre neuen Rechte diskutierten und neue Möglichkeiten für Frauen schafften. Ich zeige auch, wie der Londoner Schulrat das ideologische Programm einer reformierten Arbeiterklasse in der Hoffnung auf eine verbesserte nächste Generation umsetzte.
