Graduation From Nursing Photo - Young Lady Grauates Early 1900s - Women's Education History

This photo showcases a young woman wearing a Nursing Education Cap and holding her degree.  At this point, droves of American Women were becoming nurses  and Teachers.  They saw education as a career until they married the right man. This young lady wore a beautiful white, Edwardian style dress and proudly held her head high, she was now officially educated . It is interesting that women were not admitted into most colleges well into the 19th century -- even at the turn of the 20th century only 58% of U.S. schools admitted men and women together,, but nursing and teaching were acceptable degree programs, especially when the nursing program ran out of a hospital, trainning the women while the worked. What a perfect gift for a women's studies or history grad....or to post in a college counseling office.
