The Duty Of American Women To Their Country Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Claims of the Country on American Females, Vol. 2 Especial stress has been laid, in the previous remarks, on the moral agency of women, in the maternal relation, because experience and revelation both teach us, that the influences are most available for the improvement of the highest interests of our race, which are brought to bear on them during the earliest and most impressible period of their existence. But many of the peculiarities in the political and social condition of our country, which have been briefly adverted to, will be readily admitted by a reflecting mind, to be calculated to operate little less favorably on the female character in other relations of life. If the full occupation of time to which the fathers of our land are almost necessarily subjected, enhances the value of maternal exertion, no less does the heavy demand made upon the latter, serve, in numberless instances to mature with rapidity the character of the daughters and sisters of America.
