Answer:

Catharine Beecher,

Step-by-step explanation:

Catharine Beecher, in full Catharine Esther Beecher, (born September 6, 1800, East Hampton, New York, U.S.—died May 12, 1878, Elmira, New York), American educator and author who popularized and shaped a conservative ideological movement to both elevate and entrench women’s place in the domestic sphere of American culture.

Beecher was most influential as a writer. Her major work, A Treatise on Domestic Economy, first published in 1841, went through 15 editions and was the first American work to deal with all facets of domestic life. The Treatise helped to standardize domestic practices and reinforce domestic values, arguing that a woman’s proper role was in the home, where she could powerfully affect American society. Beecher’s other publications include “Female Education” (1827), The Duty of American Women to Their Country (1845), Common Sense Applied to Religion (1857), and, with Harriet Beecher Stowe, The American Woman’s Home (1869)
