A Woman’s Place?

            Beecher’s definition of a housekeeper is way more thorough than any other explanation I have ever heard of when explaining any sort of woman position involving a house. Regardless, her definition of a housekeeper extends far and beyond what one would expect. Beecher goes to great depth in order to explain why she thinks being a house keeper or good woman is so important. This equable and cheerful temper that Beecher always associates will the housekeeper is one that she incessantly harps on. The temper, as she would say, should be in a controlled manor, but not one of anger or that of frustration. She is to remain calm and collected like the true lady she is.

            Beecher then continues to go off on several steps to becoming an optimum house keeper. A woman should not take her job lightly, if she were to do so this would increase the difficulty tenfold. She is to take it seriously because without a sense of purpose or motivation there dwindles the chance of her succeeding. Another is to go ahead and assumer to everything is going to work out, and to meet this opposition of even the best thought out plans to fail and interfere with the rest of the family. A woman should also understand that there is going to being struggles, trails, and tribulation whenever being the fundamental housekeeper as she is, and she would do well to learn such earlier on in the process. The woman should be able to forgive and forget. Not all actions need repercussion, and the woman would do well to be understanding and mindful of those who are less developed in life. Finally, religion and a faith in God is the single most important step to becoming a housewife. Beecher, however, does maintain some difference between housekeeper and woman. Both are extremely important to life, but still there are some differences.
