Description:

New York: Daniel Fanshaw, 3rd edition. The bible was owned my Martha Cruttenden who operated a boarding school for young women on Gibbs St. in Rochester, NY "The Cruttenden Academy" opened in 1880. Miss Martha Cruttenden’s English-French Boarding and Day School for Young Ladies and Little Girls in Rochester. She was sometimes a boarder and sometimes a day student. Miss Cruttenden, considered one of the city’s more successful teachers, “insisted on high standards of ‘health, morality and good breeding,” and aimed “‘to make scholarly women and womanly scholars….'” The academy, which opened in 1880, was known as a “fashionable” school that “maintained good scholastic standards.” It taught languages, trigonometry, astronomy, physics, and chemistry. During this period, many thought that girls and women should not receive a higher education. However, Rochester had long been a hotbed of women’s rights activities, and there was plenty of support for young women who sought to better themselves. There were also a number of role models for women who wanted to achieve in ways other than becoming wives and mothers. The city was the hometown of Susan B. Anthony, famous suffragist and woman’s rights activist. Susan’s sister, Mary Anthony, also a women’s rights advocate, was a teacher and a principal in the Rochester public schools from 1856 until 1883.
