Beecher Background

I learned that Beecher was a huge advocate of education for women and strongly believed that women were intellectually capable. She was also an advocate for women to be teachers and mothers. In her writing I didn't get the sense that she believed in women as teachers but that women were housekeepers and meant to take care of their respected homes. Learning more about Beecher helped me to understand where she is coming from about woman's role in society through her eyes.
