The reason this argument doesn't work for me, is that both of Shakespeares SSI gutters were illiterate.
I will be honest, I don't know what you mean by SSI gutters.
It was a typo I didn't catch! I'm sorry.
It should have said : his daughters were illiterate.
Shakespeare basically abandoned his wife to work in London, leaving his family behind. And letting your daughters be illiterate in that era was no big deal. That's not conclusive is what I'm saying.
At that time, it was a sign of wealth to, " waste money" teaching daughters. That's how it became trendy. It then became a requirement for marriage, so the trend stayed. With a different reason.
