The Deferential Wife was an interesting piece. A woman that wanted to carter to the audience of women is an interesting concept. This would play into the idea of republican motherhood and that women would want to be more educated. That being said, if the idea of educating women were important, why don’t we see more papers and magazines geared toward the women that are staying on the plantations and raising the children? –Kayle P | The Deferential Wife was an interesting piece.

| + | In answer to the above question. I think that in the early 1800s we are starting to see more papers and magazines geared towards women in the homes and plantation. At this time we start to see magazines such as Sarah Hales "Ladies Magazine," and Catharine Beecher's writings on "System and Order". These are just a few of the many self help books that started being published at this time, as well as the development of new magazines for women. --Jennifer S. | ||
