Answer:

18th century - 19th century

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer depends on what is deemed as "an education". Women were typically allowed education to gain at least basic literacy, however, they were not allowed to have higher education until the 19th century, when the first few women was able to attend and receive degrees at the University of London in the late 1870s. In the 1960s, women received more rights to higher education, and in the 1970s, women were given equal rights in education along with men.
