SPEAKER_02: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. Today we're talking about a beautiful mind who was once called England's most learned lady. She fought to educate her fellow women even when society thought it couldn't be done. Let's talk about Bathshua Macon. Bathshua Reginald Macon was born in 1600 in England. Her father was a teacher in East London. Having an intellectual family encouraged Bathshua to pursue an academic path, and she quickly excelled. At age 16, she published a book of verse featuring six languages. She also studied medicine, which would later help her take care of her aging father. Bathshua married a member of the English family and had eight children with him over the course of a decade. As Bathshua's family grew, so did her acclaim. She was widely considered the most educated woman in England by 1640. She even tutored the children of Charles I of England and acted as governess to his daughter, Elizabeth Stewart. Finding a place at the royal court was exactly what Bathshua needed. Her husband had lost his job in the years prior, plunging the large family into financial hardship. Bathshua was a faithful servant to Princess Elizabeth Stewart. She even accompanied the princess into custody with Parliament during the English Civil War. Unfortunately, Elizabeth Stewart died in 1650, leaving Bathshua jobless and financially struggling once again. In 1673, Bathshua founded a school for women just a few miles away from her home. Her emphasis on education for women was groundbreaking at the time. She was living in an era when men generally thought women were weak and impossible to educate. At her school, Bathshua taught music, writing, accounting, Latin, French, and a variety of other languages. In 1673, the same year she founded the school, she also published an article titled An Essay to Revive the Ancient Age of the Old Testament. An Essay to Revive the Ancient Education of Gentlewomen. The piece outlines arguments both for and against educating women, and ultimately ends by asserting women have the right to free speech and concludes that women deserve schooling. Women had few career prospects and little financial power at the time, so, Bathshua argued, women should learn rhetoric and persuasion in order to earn power. During the English Civil War, women often had to become the heads of their households, and Bathshua believed such people had to The final details of Bathshua's life are unclear. Her final letter from London is dated 1675. Scholars believe she died soon after. Though Bathshua Macon didn't exactly encourage women to take up the roles of men, she did break the status quo and argued for their intellectual equality. That's definitely worth celebrating. Tune in tomorrow to hear the story of Another Beautiful Mind. We'll be traveling back in time over two centuries to learn about another author who fought for the equality of women and laid the groundwork for future feminists.
