Catharine Esther Beecher (1800-1878) was renowned for her forthright opinions on women's education as well as her vehement support of kindergarten into children's education. She was the sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Educated at home until she was ten years old, she was then sent to a private school where she was taught the limited curriculum available to young women. The experience left her longing for additional opportunities for education, and she taught herself subjects not commonly offered to women. To provide such educational opportunities for others, in 1823 Beecher opened the Hartford Female Seminary, where she taught until 1831. In 1841 Beecher published A Treatise on Domestic Economy for the Use of Young Ladies at Home and at School, a book which discussed the underestimated importance of women's roles in society. Amongst her other works are: Suggestions Respecting Improvements in Education (1829), Arithmetic Simplified (1832), An Essay on the Education of Female Teachers (1835), The Lyceum Arithmetic (1835), Letters on the Difficulties of Religion (1836), An Essay on Slavery and Abolitionism (1837) and The Moral Instructor for Schools and Families (1838).
