Emma Willard: Pioneer in Social Studies Education.

Nelson, Murry R.

Theory and Research in Social Education, v15 n4 p245-56 Fall 1987

One of the first women in the field of teacher education, Emma Hart Willard trained many young women at the Troy Female Seminary. Willard held an integrated view of social science education. Her interests and views in geography, history, and citizenship education were more typical of the 1960's than the early 1800's, the period of her major work. (Author/JDH)
