Women's Education
I wrote a history of women's education. There have always been some educated women. In the past, generally, upper-class women were well-educated. Middle-class women often had some education.
Women's Underwear
Ancient Greek women wore a form of bra called an apodesme. Both Roman men and women wore a loincloth or shorts called subligaculum. Women also wore a band of cloth or leather around their chest called a strophium or mamilare. localhistories.org/a-history-of-women's-underwear
