About Charlotte Yonge 
‘... the ideas that she promulgated through her books, through
her personal influence and through her letters were actually major ideas
for a key generation of Victorian women – the women born in the
second half of the 1840's who went on to become the first generation
of women head teachers, who founded the Girls’ High Schools, and
who became the Principals of the new women’s colleges at various
universities.’ (Julia Courtney, Open University) |
