This project takes a close look at historical childhood rites of passage, with a focus on the period from 1880 to 1950. We looked at everything from schooling to working to puberty. We found that historical rites of passage varied for children depending on their geographical location, age, class, gender, culture, and more. For example, rates of attending school vary drastically from state to state, puberty rituals differ by culture and class, and external factors like industrialization also played a role.
