This paper concludes that after the ideologies of the American Revolutionary era flourished, educating women became more accepted, especially in New England. Women received a limited education during the colonial era, usually concerning how to operate a household unless fortunate enough to have a female family member who could read, outside of the primary level and usually the daughter’s family provided what little education a girl had. Only if one’s religion promoted education did one receive instruction at a dame school and thus could learn to read the Bible. Overall, the home still remained the most important part of a woman’s domain until the ideologies of the American Revolution progressed. The American Revolution drastically changed women’s roles. The republicanism and democratic ideologies and women’s education flourished. School’s began instructing women on more subjects, including how to read and write. As more schools for girls became established, more females received their education outside the home.
