In the essay “The Higher Education of Women,” Cooper argues for the education of women. She provides a feminist argument in which she examines the sentiments against this activity. She wants to prove that educating women has a great positive impact on societies, and in order to prove this, she studies the lives of women who were able to pursue careers. This is why Cooper uses anecdotal evidence. She hopes that by providing this evidence, she will be able to convince more people of the benefits of education.
