A fact from Charlestown Female Seminary appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 March 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the 19th-century American female seminary movement, which aimed to give women educational opportunities, lent its name to a pair of similarly named institutions in Charleston, South Carolina, and Charlestown, Massachusetts?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/March. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Charleston Female Seminary.

Overview

I think this section is important. It provides context, particularly as to the growth of the "female seminary movement." Moreover, this particular institution fulfilled those expectations and needs, and was a product of its time and place. The list of alumnae supports that conclusion. It is impeccably referenced from an undoubted WP:RS. So I disagree with any attempt to eliminate or cut it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:46, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now that we have the Female seminary article and link, I guess my perspective changes. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 03:06, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Closure?

When did it close, since it's no longer there. And is the house on Seminary St. the original school building, or is it a replacement? 74.104.151.75 (talk) 17:21, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
