"Republican Motherhood" identifies the concept related to women's roles as mothers in the emerging United States before, during, and after the American Revolution (c. 1760 to 1800). It centered on the belief that children should be raised to uphold the ideals of republicanism, making them the perfect citizens of the new nation. With the growing emphasis being placed on republicanism, women were expected to partake in promoting these values - they had a "special role to play" in raising their children. In Linda K. Kerber's article "The Republican Mother: Women and the Enlightenment - An American Perspective", she compared republican motherhood to the Spartan model of childhood, where children are raised to value patriotism and the sacrificing of their own needs for the greater good of the country. By doing so, the mothers would encourage their sons to pursue liberty and roles in the government,while their daughters would perpetuate the domestic sphere with the next generation. In addition, women were permitted to receive more of an education than they previously had been allowed.
