The correct answer is A; Women were tasked with educating the next generation, and thus needed to be educated themselves.

Explanation:

The phrase or term Republican Motherhood was started in the 1980s. This idea was based on books written by John Locke. He has several ideas that were based on revolutionary ideas of republicanism.

Christians loved this idea because mothers would be able to pass down the family's religious views and values to generations.

Women were then opened many doors to education that they did not have before. This was so that they could educate their children about things that they learned. They also had more of a public role in women's rights, abolitionism, and had more chances of being teachers, etc.
