Question

NEED HELP !!!!! THIS IS A WRITTEN RESPONSE BTW...


“I am amazed by the opinion of some men who claim that they do not want their daughters, wives, or kinswomen to be educated because of the mores [morals] would be ruined as a result….Here you can clearly see that not all opinions of men are based on reason and that these men are wrong.”


Why would this selection be considered revolutionary in 1405? What group of people would support this idea and why, likewise, what group(s) of people would disagree with this idea and why?

Answer 1

This idea is revolutionary in 1405 because during this period, women were not given that much importance in terms of participating in the society. They were not allowed to pursue higher education because they were thought to have frail minds and too much learning could damage them. Women were probably the supporters of the idea while narrow minded men were against it.
