Conceived by Liberty Maternal Figures and NineteenthCentury American Literature - Reading Women Writing
Author: Stephanie A. Smith
"A mother is, next to God, all powerful," The Public Ledger asserted in 1850.

Smith traces the career of an ideology of sanctified maternity in antebellum American culture.
