This is not an article, but may be of interest. In is from the diary of Lady Charlotte Guest, the great 19th C linguist and translator (from Old Welsh) of the Mabinogion.
In 1829, when she was 17, she wrote: "Italian, Latin exercises, my journal and practising till dinner which is at one thirty. Then I read, refer to Morieri etc. for a fuller account of persons characters and things mentined in my morning's Russell, read Latin with Mr. Martin (I am recommencing dear, dear Virgil) and walk or drive in the open carriage till half past five tea time." The 'dear, dear' is underlined and she had a crush on the tutor Mr. Martin. Of her Latin studies she said "Much as I have heard the learning of Latin disapproved of in a female, I still persist in it, nor do I see that it can be of any harm."
