		Rush's Thoughts upon Female Education, which he gave as a speech to visitors of the Young Ladies' Academy in Philadelphia in 1787 and published later in same year, showed him to be a firm believer in "republican motherhood," the idea that women's main duty was to raise sons to be virtuous citizens.
		Rush espoused the idea that education in America should be different from that in England because of the differing roles of married women in the two countries.
		Eventually, Rush complained, wives' "harpsichords serve only as side-boards for their parlours, and prove by their silence that necessity and circumstances, will always prevail over fashion, and false maxims of education." Rush objected to instruction in drawing for the same reason—too much time was needed to become proficient in the art.
