Description
The lifelong friendship and networking between Emma Willard and French femmes de lettres and educators Louise Swanton Belloc and Adelaide Montgolfier are reconstructed here from their correspondence. The letters written by Louise Belloc and Adelaide Montgolfier spanning almost forty years have been translated into English by the author. The letters bare witness to the rich intellectual life of these women and their strong dedication to the advancement of women's education. Emma Willard was "a star and a guide" in the eyes of the French educators. They shared her views on the education of women and instilled them into their own writings.
