In reply to an essay on slavery and abolitionism: Catharine Esther Beecher 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.

Catherine E. Beecher attacked Angelina Grimké's activism on the grounds that women should not participate in the anti-slavery fight because of their subordinate position in 19th century society. In this public reply, Grimké argues in defense of both slavery and women's rights.
