Wadleigh High School for Girls : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wadleigh High School for Girls The Wadleigh High School for Girls, which was established by the NYC Board of Education in 1897, and which moved into its new building in September 1902, was the first public high school for girls in New York City.〔Kennedy, Randy, “NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: Upper West Side; Old School: Famous, Infamous and Now a Landmark”, ''New York Times'', July 31, 1994.〕 At the time, public secondary education for girls was considered highly novel and perhaps a bit scandalous. Newspapers considered it newsworthy enough to devote many stories to describing classroom scenes of girls receiving “higher” education.〔“Wadleigh to Mark 40th Anniversary”, ''New York Times'', December 5, 1937.〕 ==Namesake== The school was named for Lydia Fowler Wadleigh (1817–1888), who was a pioneer in higher education for women. In 1856 she established the 12th Street Advanced School for Girls in the face of “bitter opposition,” according to ''The New York Times''.〔"Honor Teachers Memory", ''New York Times'', February 7, 1904.〕 Later in her career, she assisted Thomas Hunter in the creation and was the first “Lady Superintendent” of the New York Normal College, now known as Hunter College.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Lydia F. Wadleigh )〕
