"Martineau wrote Household Education in 1848, lamenting the state of women's education. She believed women had a natural inclination to motherhood and believed domestic work went hand in hand with academia for a proper, well-rounded education.

She stated, ""I go further than most persons... in desiring thorough practice in domestic occupations, from an early age, for young girls"". She proposed that freedom and rationality, rather than command and obedience, are the most effectual instruments of education.

Excerpt:

""Household Education is a subject so important in its bearings on every one's happiness, and so inexhaustible in itself, that I do not see bow any person whatever can undertake to lecture upon it authoritatively, as if it was a matter completely known and entirely settled. It seems to me that all that we can do is to reflect, and say what we think, and learn of one another. This is, at least, all that I venture to offer. I propose to say, in a series of chapters, what I have observed and thought on the subject of Life at Home, during upwards of twenty years' study of domestic life in great variety. It will be for my readers to discover whether they agree in my views, and whether their minds are set to work by what I say on a matter which concerns them as seriously as any in the world."""
