		Pinckney's education continued after she settled in Charleston; what Attig terms her "very active mind" led her to pursue scientific, literary, and philosophical texts either on her own or at her husband's suggestion (979).3 Both Chesnutt and Spruill focus, to slightly different degrees, on how Pinckney's education differentiated her from her female contemporaries.
