One of the common themes in this week’s readings is that of female instruction. Some of the narratives touch explicitly on the topic of education (reading, books, etc.) and others simply offer examples of the “ideal” woman, but they all instruct, in one way or another, women’s behavior.
In your posting, please discuss the types of instruction and education you see occurring in these texts. What are women encouraged to do? Not to do? According to the texts, how far does a woman’s education extend?
Please remember that your posting is due by Thursday at 8am and your response to your peers by Friday at 5pm.
