"Remember what education is for~~not the success of some institution, but
the enriching of the homelife; to make our men more courageous and
discerning, to make our women more gracious and insightful, our
conversations better competition for the television, our storytelling more
captivating, our young men less likely to be the clods that are incapable of
husbanding their wives and our aesthetic tastes more akin to true
beauty."~~Fritz Hinrichs

Hi Mum!
Have you ever read "Shepherd of the Hills"? It's a great book about a country girl who, against all odds, becomes very well educated and has to decide between a worldly life and a good one.
Since it's popular fiction from 1907, it's a bit fluffy and didactic. I think you would like it though, and you should definitely check out the copy that is posted on Google Books, if only for the scans of the purple gloves right at the beginning.
