Observing upbringing and education throughout history, it is evident that gender, social class, religion and nationality had a significant impact on its development. In society, a complete division of male and female activity prevailed, according to the rule that the state belongs to the man, and the family to the woman. Looking at England through the 18th and 19th centuries there was little change in the way women were educated. The old system of patriarchy was still well entrenched, but it gradually began to collapse. Women began to fight for their rights, gaining more and more opportunities and supporters. Therefore, the aim of this final paper is presentation and description of women's education in England in the 18th and 19th centuries with special reference to several prominent women who made a significant contribution to women's education. The paper consists of two parts. The first part shows upbringing and education throughout history and explains how gender differences have affected women's educational opportunities. In the second part, the focus is on the education of women in England in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the school opportunities of that time are analyzed. At the end, there is a review of Mary Wollstonecraft, Emily Davies and Elizabeth Wolstenholme-Elmy, who made a significant contribution to the education of women through their activities and rose above the framework in which they lived.
