In the 1700s, formal education for girls was not as common as it was for boys, and those who did attend school typically began around the ages of 6 to 8. Education for girls often focused on subjects deemed appropriate for their future roles as wives and mothers, such as reading, writing, and needlework. Opportunities varied significantly depending on social class and location, with wealthier families more likely to provide education for their daughters.
