Background of Catherine Breecher

I learned that Catherine was mostly driven to teach and spread the word about how a woman should be the teacher in developing the knowledge and people skills of the next generation. She was the duaghterof a Presbyterian Minister well known for his evangelism. She had a well known sister Harriet Beecher Stow who wrote Uncle Toms Cabin. At the age of 16 she had to take over the houshold and take care of the faimly.

  1. I think because she had to take care of the family and household at the age of 16, her views and ethics developed accordingly. Because she was forced to take on the household, she figured that other women should do the same and with utmost enthusiasm.
