Republican motherhood encouraged (a) greater educational opportunities for women.
Women needed to be taught virtue if the republic was to succeed so they could pass it on to the next generation. In the 1790s, the first female academies in America were established. "Republican motherhood" is the term for this conception of an educated woman.
The Republican mother was to promote civic engagement and interest in her sons. She was expected to impart moral and virtue-based instruction to her children, but she was not to share who to vote for with her male relatives.
This had made a long-lasting impact. Although the idea of republican motherhood initially supported women in their domestic responsibilities, it eventually led to more opportunities for American women to pursue higher education, as exemplified by Mary Lyon and the establishment of "Mount Holyoke Female Seminary," later Mount Holyoke College, in 1837.
