[Portrait of Antoinette Brown]

1847
Antoinette Louisa Brown enrolled in Oberlin Collegiate Institute in 1846, which she determined was the best way for her to get a college degree despite her limited academic background. She completed studies in the theology department, although Oberlin did not recognize her work or license her to preach.
