Abstract The Mothers’ Union (1886) and the Girls Friendly Society (1874) were official Anglican Church of England organisations. They drew on a religiously informed ideal of womanhood, and asserted the significance of women as exemplars of Christian citizenship with a mission to improve society. They asserted mothering as a significant educational project. This article identifies three main ways in which this popular educational mission was accomplished: first, through the example of the mother in the home; second, through the informal education inherent in organisational practices; and third, through overt educational practices. Despite conservative social values, the extensive membership of the organisations is indicative that their mission to promote women as religious educators had widespread appeal. |
