I found this in a book I'm reading for college. The editorial of the Journal of the Agriculture, Commerce and Industry Society of Bahia's Province, from 1833, reads:
The fate of women, on the other hand, is different from men's, be it in the social order or in the natural order. Whichever position/place they have to occupy one day, their condition in society is not that of being present in public, performing in jobs, holding public office, having a seat in assemblies, marching against the enemy, cultivating the mechanical arts or performing work outside: but rather, living in family and taking care of the household tasks, because this is where women make themselves valued.
Since their education is that of tasks they must perform at home, all the tutoring they receive must conform to that goal. Therefore, the tutoring they get on their parent's house is the one which suits them the better, since it has the advantage of raising them from childhood in the thorough circumstances of the domestic affairs, and impressing on them the spirit of modesty, patience, order and sweetness of character, generating principles of all their good qualities, as well as their happiness ...
