Explanation:

The notorious Enlightenment English writer John Locke, influential among Americans in the 18th century, did not back the usual male dominated hierachy in society but instead, he said that men and women had more equal rights in a marriage. In the late 18th-century America, women were supposed to teach and educate children in republican values; that's why women started to receive more education.
