About This Book

A chronological biography traces the life and achievements of Frances Mary Buss, describing her childhood and young adulthood, the evolution of her educational ideals, and her public campaigns to expand secondary schooling for girls. It narrates the founding and growth of a pioneering collegiate-style school, practical reforms such as teacher training and examinations for women, collaborations with fellow educators, and the administrative and architectural developments that marked institutional success. Later chapters record travel, friendships, and periods of rest, while appended portraits, illustrations, and correspondence illuminate her character and the practical methods she promoted for improving teaching and widening opportunities for women.
