In a century almost continually at odds with the proper place of females, Catherine Esther Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Isabella Beecher Hooker shared a commitment to women's power. Although they did not always agree on the nature of that power, each in her own way--Catherine as educator and author of advice literature; Harriet as author of novels, tales, and sketches; and Isabella as a women's rights advocate--devoted much of her adult life to elevating women's status and expanding women's influence.Boydston, Jeanne is the author of 'Limits of Sisterhood The Beecher Sisters on Women's Rights and Woman's Sphere' with ISBN 9780807842072 and ISBN 0807842079.
