Summary: In the first part of the nineteeth century, an increasing number of middle class families were taking the education of their daughters seriously, and boarding-schools were multiplying on both sides of the Channel. Schoolmistresses - rarely, in fact, the 'reduced gentlewomen' of nineteenth century fiction - were not only often successful entrepreneurs, but also played an important part in the development of the teaching profession, and in the expansion of secondary education.
