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) |
