I reinserted the "origin of the term" and "equality or inequality?" sections, which are essential to a scholarly understanding of the concept. The short version of the article was a little ambiguous-- "republican motherhood" was NOT an 18c term, but rather a 20c historian's name for a prominent but somehat amorphous 18c concept. "Republican motherhood" is one of the central interpretive concepts in early American women's history, and I think it deserves four paragraphs of explanation. Many thanks to whomever compiled the bibliography. drfryer, 30 June 2006

France in the late 18th century was another revolutionary republic that articulated a similar value... I am working from memory and don't have a reference, but that might be worth addressing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.243.190 (talk) 12:55, 7 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Classical Rome

I have removed this addition about classical Rome from the history section. While the concept defined is similar, there is no indication that the classical Roman model influenced the Revolutionary American practice. If such influence can be verified, than the section could be reintroduced, possibly as a subsection titled "Influencing factors" or some such.

Filmore or Filmer?

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

At the end of the History of Republican Motherhood section, it says: "Although Locke argued less in support of women after he had dissected Filmore's writings, his treatises were influential in highlighting the role of women in society."

There has been no prior mention of a Filmore, so I presume it's a typo, meaning to refer to the previously mentioned Robert Filmer. But there's no citation I can check, and I don't know enough about the subject to be sure.

Could a topic expert please check this and make a correction if necessary? Adding a citation would be helpful, too. Whaledancer (talk) 16:34, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
