Petticoat Rebel
By Mary Stetson ClarkeWhile the Americans are battling against the British, Dacie Tybbot is carrying on her own private war for the education of women. The 16-year-old daughter of a well-to-do sea-faring family in Massachusetts, Dacie wants instruction in the same subjects her brothers are learning, but the only school available to her specializes in "ladylike arts" such as paper cut-outs. After she graduates from this horror, she begins to use her free time to teach some Jamaicans whom her father has freed from slavery, and then manages to talk her way into opening a parish school for girls.
