"leaves out a very important - and maybe the dominant - part of Beecher's work: her role as a key figure in the ""cult of domesticity."" Yes, she advocated for women's education, but her most famous books are far more about women's role in the home. To leave out this part of her life is a gross misrepresentation of what Beecher stood for.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.58.238.152   "
