Wikipedia, viewed August 25, 2020 (Catharine Esther Beecher (September 6, 1800 - May 12, 1878) was an American educator known for her forthright opinions on female education as well as her vehement support of the many benefits of the incorporation of kindergarten into children's education. Beecher was born September 6, 1800, in East Hampton, New York, the daughter of outspoken religious leader Lyman Beecher and Roxanna (Foote) Beecher. She was the sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the 19th century abolitionist and writer most famous for her groundbreaking novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, and of clergymen Henry Ward Beecher and Charles Beecher. In 1823 Beecher opened the Hartford Female Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut, where she taught until 1832. Beecher founded The American Woman's Educational Association in 1852, an organization focused on furthering educational opportunities for women.
