The peice I chose was a June edition of Cosmopolitan magazine in, I believe, 1911.  On page 17 of this issue, there is an advertisment for different education oppurtunities for women.  This page includes rows and rows of school listings.  What first struck me was the number of schools listed.  While there are still many all girl schools, it isn't a particularly common thing to hear about nowadays.  From the looks of this advertisement, one could easily assume that these types of all girl schools were the norm.  I am not certain if co-ed education was allowed at this point in time, but if it was, it doesn't seem to have been too typical.  The second thing I noticed were the course listing.  Today there are women enrolled in courses like biology or calculus.  This does not appear to have been an option around 1911.  Over half of the advertisements list classes available in Expression, Music, Art, Languages, and Domestic Science.  I think this speaks a lot of the barriers women still had to overcome at this time.  If courses like today were then offered to women, it is not apparent from these advertisements.  It is also metioned many times that the schools are located in 'healthful' environments as if women are somehow very fragile and this is a most important part to consider.  It was really cool to look through this magazine.  It is obviously so different from what we would see in an issue of Cosmopolitan today and this is apparent from just the cover page.  Rather than having a scantily dressed woman on the cover with rated R snippets of articles on it, this 1911 issue is simply a nice, wholesome looking woman wearing a sun hat and sipping a drink from a straw.
