Girls and Education is a collection of addresses and essays by Le Baron Russell Briggs, a distinguished American educator and former president of Radcliffe College. This work explores the fundamental principles and challenges surrounding the education of young women during the early twentieth century. Through a series of thoughtful discourses, Briggs examines the purpose of academic life, emphasizing the development of character, the importance of intellectual discipline, and the social responsibilities of educated women.

Drawing upon his extensive experience in higher education, the author offers guidance to students, parents, and teachers alike. He addresses the transitions from school to college and the subsequent entry into the broader world, advocating for an education that balances rigorous scholarship with moral integrity. This volume serves as a significant historical document, reflecting the evolving attitudes toward women's roles in society and the academic sphere during a transformative era. Girls and Education remains a compelling study of the ideals that shaped modern female education and the enduring value of a well-rounded intellectual foundation.
