=Historical Inquiry=

My "I am..." person is Catherine Esther Beecher. Before I researched about my person, the basic information I knew about her was that she was interested in education. When I was choosing my "I am..." person, I was looking at simple descriptions of many people. But after looking at different people, I found myself interested in education, mostly children and women's education. So, when I read Catherine Esther Beecher's description which said things about her supporting women and children's education, I wanted to find out more about it, so I chose her. While I was researching about Catherine, I was curious about how she was able to stand up and support anything (in this case, education) when women didn't really have as much freedom as men.
