Catharine Beecher was een Amerikaanse onderwijzeres, bekend om haar uitgesproken meningen over vrouweneducatie en haar gepassioneerde pleidooi voor de integratie van de kleuterschool in het onderwijs van kinderen. Ze was er diep van overtuigd dat de status van vrouwen door middel van onderwijs moest worden verhoogd en hen de middelen moest geven voor intellectuele groei. Beecher geloofde dat goed opgeleide vrouwen van fundamenteel belang waren voor een sterk gezin en een bloeiende samenleving. Haar geschriften benadrukten het belang van praktische vaardigheden en morele ontwikkeling binnen het onderwijskader.
