In 1803, Johan Werfel published a grammar of Danish that was supposedly "for women". It was also both "practical and theoretical".

I digitized the book for the @internetarchive and wrote something about the book for #Lingoblog [In Danish]. I'll try to summarize the most interesting points here! I was curious about what it meant that it was "for women" (besides a general interest in reading old grammar books)

I wrote this blog post (in Danish) for Lingoblog about #Greenlandic (#Kalaallisut) orthography and other #Inuit writing systems.
