Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the record of a meeting at which a society of Christian women from different denominations decided to unite in a mission to send pious female teachers to the West, to counter the Catholic proselytism and to provide a Christian education to children who were otherwis…e unequipped to receive any education at all. The society's formation was a powerful demonstration of female agency in a time when women's roles were extremely circumscribed, and the book includes addresses by religious leaders Edward Beecher and E. N. Kirk who encouraged the women's involvement in education as a means of shaping the future of the country. This book provides readers with insight into the challenges faced by educators in the 19th century and highlights the ways in which American Christians responded to the urgent needs of a growing and rapidly changing nation.
