“The idea of feminine authority is so deeply embedded in the human subconscious that even after all these centuries of father-right the young child instinctively regards the mother as the supreme authority. He looks upon the father as equal with himself, equally subject to the woman's rule. Children have to be taught to love, honor, and respect the father, a task usually assumed by the mother.” HumansLooksChildrenIdeasYoungMotherFatherSubjectsCenturyTaughtHonorEqualAuthorityTasksRegardSupremeLook UpFeminineSubconsciousEmbeddedYoung ChildrenHonor And Respect Author:Elizabeth Gould Davis

“In the early nineteenth century, the doctrine of self-sufficiency came to apply to families as well as individuals.... The familybecame a special protected place, the repository of tender, pure, and generous feelings (embodied by the mother) and a bulwark and bastion against the raw, competitive, aggressive, and selfish world of commerce (embodied by the father).... In performing this protective task, the good family was to be as self-sufficient as the good man.” MenWorldWellsSelfFeelingsMotherFatherIndividualSpecialCenturyPureTasksSelfishDoctrinePerformingGenerousSufficientGood ManAggressiveProtectedCommerceProtectiveNineteenth CenturySelf SufficiencySufficiencySelf SufficientGood FamilySelfish World Author:Kenneth Keniston
