Commemorating women's education: a national historic site in Canada

This is a link to a site about Annesley Hall, Toronto, Canada.

HistoricPlaces.ca - HistoricPlaces.ca

Named for Susanna Annesley Wesley, wife of preacher John Wesley, it has been known historically as a distinguished pioneering centre for the higher education of women.

On the forums there was some discussion of women's liberation and while many on the forums would question some of the strongly secularist overtones of some of what passes for the cause of women's liberation, yet when it comes to giving access to higher education for women, the role of such places - and many others worldwide also - is very much worth commemorating by Christians, in my humble opinion.

(Two cents'.)

Can't argue with you there.

"Women liberation" such as getting access to education, sports, etc is IMO all good and okay. The problem starts only when in the name of "women liberation", the Biblical roles of men and women gets toppled up and when one does not even recognise who is man and who is woman anymore.

PS: I am so done with debating on men and women stuffs (been there, done that) but just for once, am sharing my view on it.

Thanks, Ms. sanglina! You're a woman with a Master's degree yourself, aren't you? Personally I think that while some secularist overtones can be excessive, yet it can be for a Christian a good and wholesome aim to be and strive to become a Godly liberated woman.

I'm glad you like the link, anyway.

Blessings.

Excellent post. So good to know that in Canada we honour the famous Susanna Wesley, also the mother of Charles Wesley, the prolific hymn writer.

And great it to promote higher education for women, who were for so many years denied the privilege of higher education.

Next door to Annesley Hall is the Lilian Massey Building of the University of Toronto, which honors another distinguished pioneer of women's higher education.
