The brontes

III. CONCLUSION

A woman´s proper place was the home, public office, the professions and the universities were all closed to women, while commerce and manual labour were simply not respectable. Even nursing the sick was not considred suitable work for a lady; nurses had a dubious reputation until Florence Nightingale elevated the status of nursing during the Crimea war in 1856. Writing was a respectable profession for ladies, partly because it could be carried out at home.

Victorian novels and reports did encourage public concern and in 1843 the Governesses´ Benevolent Institution was founded. Towards the end of the 19C the founding of Queen´s College in London, set up to give gorvernesses a proper training, improve the situation of many other women, eager for education, including some of the future pioneers of education for women.
