Horace Mann (May 4, 1796 â August 2, 1859) was an American politician and educational reformer. A Whig devoted to promoting speedy modernization, he served in the Massachusetts State legislature (1827â37).
In 1830, womenâs literacy was but half of menâs. Just as Horace Mann defined the common school movement, Emma Willard (1787â1870), Catharine Beecher (1800â1878), and Mary Lyon (1797â1849) were three leading figures in the advancement of womenâs education.
