Well, that too short comment of mine might be slightly disingenuous, considering what you might have thought I meant by this, but here's an overview :
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/aehr.12250
I seem to remember that he practiced what he preached (not only as the first ever professor of economics, but also as a pastor), and has founded at least one school for women, but annoyingly I can't seem to find the source any more ??
Of note also : by the end of the 19th century the (neo-)Malthusian feminists had already embraced ideas that he disagreed with like contraception and for some even abortion.
As you might know, Malthus was quite concerned about the issues of overpopulation. His solution was to educate women. This seems to be working surprisingly well !
