Description:
Eliza Palmer Peabody was a writer and educator. After her marriage, she started a household school that abandoned the rote recitation used in boys’ schools and instead encouraged a conversational model. She instilled in her pupils a belief in women and men’s equal capability as learners and in “the paramount importance of women to American civilization.” The class materials she developed were subsequently published. Her three daughters—Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Sophia Hawthorne, and Mary Peabody Mann—were each notable in their own right.
