The book published last summer, entitled The Duty of American Women to their Country, having been read by ladies of different denominations, in Boston and elsewhere, a simultaneous wish was expressed to take immediate action on the subject of sending pious female teachers to the West. When the Mission Sewing Circle connected with Mount Vernon Church and Society met, in October, to organize for the winter, this subject was presented, and a few ladies agreed to meet at an early day to converse, and, if possible, lay some plan for a future society to be organized. This informal meeting was held at Deacon Safford s, October 22, and about twenty ladies were present. All appeared deeply interested, and expressed a wish to do something at once for the object, but no one felt prepared to tell how to begin. However, before they separated, the ladies chose one of their number a committee to seek for the knowledge so much needed, and, if able to obtain it, the Committee was authorized to call a meeting and report.

Paperback. Etat : 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 otherwise 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
