Heaven-appointed educators of mind: Catharine Beecher and the moral power of women
Hypatia 19 (2):1-16 (2004)
| Abstract | : Catharine Beecher held that women possessed a moral power that could allow them to play a vital role in the moral and social progress of nineteenth century America. Problematically, this power could only be obtained through their subordination to the greatest social happiness. I wish to argue that this notion of subordination, properly framed within her ethico-religious system, can in fact lead to economic independence for women and a surprisingly robust conception of moral power | |||||||||
