Oh..so u can't find a scripture as evidence? Then it would be reasonable to leave the verse as it is.QUOTE=Denadii;3178072]I don't know if there is a verse that says women could not read. The education system of the time though was not unclear.
This part would allow girls I would think. but...
Formal education was only allowed for boys, and began formally at the age of five in a local synogague, where they were taught by rabbis. Synogagues had an equivalent of both elementary and secondary school, and they had a student teacher ratio of about 1:25. Starting at five years old in "elementary school," students studied the written Torah. Students wrote on papyrus scrolls, which were no longer than around thirty feet each. People also learned Hebrew, the language of the scriptures. Students studied seven days a week, and even went to school insead of synogague.The reason people were allowed to do this wasn't because they considered biblical education more importan than worship. It was because they didn't seperate education of the Torah from worship. In fact, education of the Torah was considered the highest form of worship. Studying scripture was very tedious and often times consisted of memorization, repetition and reading out loud. In order to memorize all this information, people often times made mnemonic devices, and repeated information to themselves outloud throughout the day.
When you turned ten, you entered "secondary school," in which you studied oral Torah, and learned Greek, which was considered the language of business and politics in the Roman world. During this time students would also find a teacher to "follow", and in a way become their apprentince. When Jesus was a student he chose to follow John the Baptist.
Learning at Home
From birth, to around thirteen years of age, you're life would have been focused on education during the time of Jesus. Like today, as soon as you are born you start to learn the language that is spoken around you. In this case, it was Aramaic; a combination of Hebrew and Babylonian. In addition to learning their first language at home, children also learned how to read and write at home.This part would allow girls I would think. but...

Further Education
Once you were around thirteen years old you either stopped your education and started working in your father's trade which would have been taught to you at home, or you continued your studies at Bet Midrash, the House of Study. Here you would study Halachot, or rabbinic law. Also, the library was located at he Bet Midrash. At around thirty years old if you HAD continued your studies, you would enter your full ministry of work.
So, Yes its possible that some girls could read. And why not?
