Education refers to the teaching and learning of knowledge, beliefs and skills. The word education, derived from the Latin educare meaning “to raise”, “to bring up”, “to train”. Recently a different verb; educere, meaning to “lead out” or “lead forth”, has been suggested as the root of education. However, the English word from this verb is “eduction”: drawing out, and bolsters the theory behind the function of education—to develop innate abilities and expand horizons. Please see Education Versus Eduction.

Saint Hildegard von Bingen
b. 1098; Germany
d. 9-17-1179
Saint Hildegard von Bingen should be considered a “polymath” (a person with varied knowledge and learning). She was elected a magistra (a female teacher) in 1136 and went on to be recognized as an “abbess, artist, author, counselor, linguist, naturalist, scientist, philosopher, physician, herbalist, poet, activist, visionary, and composer”.
Hildegard von Bingen quotes:
• “We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a HOME. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light.”
• “The earth which sustains humanity must not be injured, it must not be destroyed.”

Elizabeth Blackwell
b. 2-3-1821; England
d. 5-31-1910
Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman earn a Medical Doctor (MD) degree and become a doctor in the United States (1849), was from a Quaker family active as abolitionists and in the women's suffrage movement.
To prepare herself for medical school Blackwell boarded with physicians in order to read in their libraries as she taught school to earn money for a medical education.
Only one school admitted Blackwell, Geneva Medical College, and she was allowed to attend only because the male students voted her in as a joke. After graduation she was banned from U.S. teaching hospitals so she interned at La maternité, Paris, and St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London. In 1857, she, along with her sister Emily (3rd woman medical graduate) and Marie Zakrzewska (also a physician), set up the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, after years of professional and social shunning. Blackwell helped trained nurses in the US Civil War, and in 1868 established the Women's Medical College.
Blackwell returned to England, and with Florence Nightingale opened a medical school for women there.
Elizabeth Blackwell was a sister-in-law to Lucy Stone.
Elizabeth Blackwell quotes:
• “Our school education ignores, in a thousand ways, the rules of healthy development.”
• “For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women.”
• “If society will not admit of woman's free development, then society must be remodeled.”

Shirley Chisholm,
b. 11-30-1924; Brooklyn, NY
d. 1-1-2005
“I'm ‘fighting Shirley Chisholm,’ and I'm unbought and unbossed.” That was how U.S. Representative Shirley Chisholm usually introduced herself to crowds. It was a very good description. Shirley Chisholm has always been a fighter, with very strong opinions and very little patience for people who fought the idea of change. Because of this, she has been called difficult and stubborn. But the many children Shirley Chisholm taught in day care classes, and the many people she helped while she was in Congress know her as a warm and caring person who always took the time to listen to them. ...
