Kaley Ganey and Allie Linaugh October 15, 2012 Stuart Harmening APUSH The Republican Motherhood and Education for Women The republican motherhood was essentially the beginning of the clean era for women. Before, women were non allowed to go to school, and we not germinated as they were thought to start in the understructure. Before the late 18th century, their role was to God and the care of the home and their children.However, Enlightened thinkers knew that it was the role of the mother to confine sure her sons morals and values were in pace, and also they knew the future of the United States was certified on mothers. For these reasons, the education of women became more essential and more accepted. Women were responsible for instilling fit values, and an education in the principles of liberty and government activity into their sons. What didnt make sense was, women were not educated well enough, sometimes they were competent to write their names, and read small stories, and not all the time.During the late 18th century, the idea of educating women became more and more practical. If a woman were to educate their children, the future leaders and government officials of America, shouldnt the woman be well educated themselves? After lots thought and consideration, it was believed that women should be taught to read, write, do wide-eyed math, and also should be knowledgeable closely the English language.With their education, women were better able to educate their sons, which was better for the country in the presbyopic run. People justified the education of women by saying that it was a womans duty to her country to educate her sons indeed she should be educated as well. lay the responsibilities of children in the hands of the women essentially get the future of America in their hands. The women were the ones cream the heads of children with knowledge, and teaching them how to better serve their country.
