By the 1820s, more women were becoming teachers due to a combination of social and economic factors. The expansion of public education created a demand for educators, and teaching was seen as a socially acceptable profession for women, allowing them to enter the workforce while maintaining traditional gender roles. Additionally, the educational reform movements emphasized the importance of moral education, which many believed women were particularly suited to provide. This shift not only offered women employment opportunities but also paved the way for their increased involvement in the public sphere.

What what the historical significance of the pastoralization housework?

The pastoralization of housework refers primarily to antebellum American women who, in an effort to distinguish themselves from mill girls and provide an invaluable service to their household, embraced housework. It is significant in the history of women because the national economy was becoming more and more industrialized at this time and women's role was becoming more and more diminished - in an economic sense. The traditional subsistence economy was going away. No longer could a monetary value be attached to the family economy of a farm. Men (and women) were finding employment outside of the home and these new jobs became the primary source of income. This left the housework as a job without monetary value and largely on the shoulders of the women.
