light came on the scene. When I am looking at the principles of womanly submission that were promulgated in the late 1800's, it seems that we have been in the dark ages for 100 years. Ma and Mu and the grandmas remember when it was a delight for women to care. Care is not just a heart attitude, it is an action. Harriet Beecher Stowe and the women of the late 1800's who were deliberate in their love of God in caring for their families and community.
Her husband is known in the gates.
It is interesting that Harriet Beecher Stowe is known more for Uncle Tom's cabin than for her instruction of younger women to love their families and households. There is something that God is linking with those two principles, being linked in American History. We are blinded by our prejudices and American mentality. God give us grace to look at the links that God has made, by His providence.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
