From 1815 to 1841, she kept journals about her career, family life, and encounters with slavery. Drawing on these journals and hundreds of other documents, this book explores the significance of education in transforming American society in the early national period. During this era, women often struggled to balance career ambitions with social conventions about female domesticity Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Hutchison, Susan Nye SUBJECT Hutchison, Susan Nye Subject Teachers -- United States -- Biography Women teachers -- United States -- Biography Teachers -- Southern States -- Diaries Education -- Southern States -- History -- 19th century Education -- United States -- History -- 19th century Educational change -- United States -- History BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY -- Educators.
