Woman, in Her Social and Domestic Character

First published in 1836, this influential work by American writer and educator Mrs. John Sandford explores the role of women in 19th century society. Sandford argues that women should be educated not only to be good wives and mothers, but also to be active and engaged members of their communities. She advocates for better access to education and financial independence for women, and her ideas continue to influence feminist thought today.
