Citas de Catharine Beecher

• The care of a house, the conduct of a home, the management of children, the instruction and government of servants, are as deserving of scientific treatment and scientific professors and lectureships as are the care of farms, the management of manure and crops, and the raising and care of stock.

• La capacidad de asegurarse un medio de vida independiente y un empleo honorable adecuado a su educación y capacidades es la única base verdadera de la elevación social de la mujer, incluso en las clases más altas de la sociedad. Mientras continúe siendo educada sólo para ser la esposa de alguien, y se la deje sin ningún objetivo en la vida hasta que ese alguien, ya sea por amor, por piedad o por consideración egoísta, le conceda por fin la oportunidad, nunca podrá ser verdaderamente independiente.

• When institutions are endowed to train women for all departments connected with the family state, domestic labor, now so shunned and disgraced, will become honorable, will gain liberal compensation, and will enable every woman to secure an independence in employments suited to her sex. And when this is attained, there will be few or none who wish to enter the professions of men or take charge of civil government.

• In civil and political affairs, American women take no interest or concern, except so far as they sympathize with their family and personal friends; but in all cases, in which they do feel a concern, their opinions and feelings have a consideration, equal or even superior, to that of the other sex.

• Estamos atravesando un período de demolición. En la moral, en la vida social, en la política, en la medicina y en la religión hay un vuelco universal de los cimientos. Pero el día de la reconstrucción parece avecinarse, y ahora la gran pregunta es: ¿Existen principios seguros y universales que desarrollen un sistema armonioso en el que todos estemos de acuerdo?

• The woman movement is one which is uniting by co-operating influences, all the antagonisms that are warring on the family state. Spiritualism, free love, free divorce, the vicious indulgences consequent on unregulated civilization, the worldliness which tempts men and women to avoid large families, often by sinful methods, thus making the ignorant masses the chief supply of the future ruling majorities; and most powerful of all, the feeble constitution and poor health of women, causing them to dread maternity as--what it is fast becoming--an accumulation of mental and bodily tortures.

• Considero que el esfuerzo por introducir mujeres en los colegios para hombres jóvenes es muy indeseable, y por muchas razones. Parece muy deseable que los dos sexos se unan, como profesores y alumnos, en la misma institución, pero rara vez en los primeros años de vida mediante un método que los aleje de la vigilancia y el cuidado de los padres y de las influencias protectoras de un hogar.
