I'm very happy that these women's history scholars believe that women had wider literacy but it contradicts not only what I have on hand, but everything I heard in lecture in college. You apparently have only googool which led you to a women's history website. I am thrilled that you were able to find that, but I see no real evidence for what you suggest. Could you please supply evidence, as opposed to opinion? Would you like me to explain the difference to you, in order to assist you?

This will amuse you AJ- your women's history page is not unlike those very odd scholars of black history who would like to make us believe that blacks accounted for as many discoveries as whites, and were, at the same time, disadvantaged. It is rarely possible to be both radically discriminated against AND be a major intellectual force. While I understand the reasons the women's history scholars would like to believe women's literacy was greater than that of men, I'd need to see some proof before I swallowed something like that. From a social standpoint it makes more sense to accept that men were more literate- absent proof to the contrary of course. Love to see that proof. WAITING to see that proof. Did I mention I was waiting? tap tap tap (that's my foot)
