Mary Wollstonecraft is a writer who dealt with it in those terms. Actual progress in institutional terms, for secular education of women, began in the West in the nineteenth century, with the founding of colleges offering single-sex education to young women. These appeared in the middle of the century. ''The Princess: A Medley'', a narrative poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson , is a satire of women's education, still a controversial subject in 1847, when Queen's College first opened in London. W. S. Gilbert parodied the poem and treated the themes of women's higher education and feminism in general with '' The Princess '' in (1870) and '' Princess Ida '' in 1883. Once women began to graduate from institutions of higher education, there steadily developed also a stronger academic stream of schooling, and the Teacher Training of women in larger numbers, principally to provide primary education. Women's access to traditionally all-male institutions took several generations to become complete. THE CATHOLIC TRADITION In the Roman Catholic tradition, concern for female education has expressed itself in the foundation of Religious Order s, with ministries addressing the area. These include the Ursulines (1535) and the Religious Of The Sacred Heart Of Mary (1849)Others are Society Of The Holy Child Jesus , the Sisters Of St. Joseph , Sisters Of The Holy Names Of Jesus And Mary , School Sisters Of Notre Dame , Sisters Of Notre Dame De Namur , Salesian Sisters Of Don Bosco .. A ''convent education'' is an education for girls by nuns, within a Convent building. This idea arose in France in the seventeenth century, and spread world-wide. It is not restricted to Catholic pupils, and the pupils in contemporary convent education may be boys (particularly in India). REFERENCES Historical literature
