The great issue of the 19th century was not suffrage but ed ucation. Advocates of women&rsquo\;s suffrage\, such as Elizabeth Cady Sta nton\, were educated women. Washtenaw County boasted not only many co-ed h igh schools but the nation&rsquo\;s first normal school west of the Allegh enies. The University of Michigan became a pioneer by admitting women in 1 870 and became the foremost university to do so. A university degree allow ed women to enter the professional working world and rise to prominent pos itions in both the state and nation. Local history expert\, retired teache r\, and author Susan L. Nenadic explores the challenges women faced in acc essing education during this transformative period.
