1707319th c. Women's Education Autograph Letter Signed from female student dated May 25 1854. 4 pages folded from single sheet. 6.5 x 5.25 in. Written by student Eloise Hemstreet to her parents. She writes about her school which she feel is one of "the best of schools and one of the edens of the earth." She writes on her interest in astronomical observations and how she is looking forward to looking "at the eclipse through the telescope." She mentions "the college" and talks about the health and wellness of both male and female classmates at the Institution. Additionally she mentions that the College was getting a new roof. Research indicates Eloise was born in 1833 making her 21 at the time of this letter. She became a teacher thus was likely studying for the education profession as she wrote this letter. In the latter half of the 19th century women in America had growing access to higher education especially in the professional training to become teachers. For many women working as a teacher was the key to independence-both financial and socially. Hemstreet went on to teach in New York and Wisconsin where in 1861 she made $16 for teaching a summer session. Toning around bottom left edge and corner of page 1.
