Let’s discuss Republican Motherhood, Elizabeth Freeman (Mum Bett), and the conception of being a “proper” woman after the Revolutionary War. What was Republican Motherhood, and how did it change understandings of what it meant to be “a woman?” Thinking intersectionally, were Black women and non-free women (e.g., enslaved or indentured) included in these definitions? Why is First Lady Abigail Adams regarded as the epitome of Republican Motherhood? Why is Elizabeth Freeman not? Lastly, briefly compare and contrast the current trend of “trad wife” to Republican Motherhood.
