 According to "The Dreame", women's education is necessary to both improve women's minds, and most importantly, to save their souls.It claims that women and men are suited to education on the same basis – the equality of intellect – and that God requires the use of all talents from both sexes.Near the end of the poem, an unnamed event related to gender causes her to cease her educational pursuits, after which, her mother dies, and her writing must cease.
