SUMMARY:Catharine Beecher: The Paradoxes of Gender in the Nineteenth Century
DESCRIPTION:Education reformer Catharine Beeche’s life serves as a lens in which to understand social changes that occurred during the first three-quarters of the nineteenth century\, in particularly those involving the roles of women. As an author\, Beecher’s writings outlined a unique domestic role for women just as urbanization and industrialization were limiting their social influence. By arguing that gender differences were a strength\, Beecher empowered middle-class women to embrace domestic duties. At the same time\, however\, her lived experience as a career woman did not match this advice. By looking at Beecher’s writings and anecdotes from her life\, this lecture offers insight into her personality and how her career shaped the culture of femininity at a time when conservative and radical figures disagreed on where women fit into society.
