Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Woman's Valedictory Oration is an unsigned, undated four-page manuscript, probably written between 1790 and 1810. Centered on the "advantages of a female education," the piece reads in part:
...Unable, or unwilling, to perceive the utility of regarding female education with diligence & care, and the importance of dispelling ignorance with all its concomitant evils, from every mind, they suffered many an exalted soul to remain uncultivated, and sink into useless obscurity, for no other reason than its inhabiting a female bosom.
