Answer:

A. domestic sphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

As an educator, C. Beecher went further than most contemporary schools for women which taught mainly fine arts and languages, teaching a variety of subjects. She was a pioneer of girls´physical education as a way to improve women´s health. Contrary to many pro-suffrage activists, she didn´t support femal suffrage. Her opinion was that home and school had such a relevant social impact that women should limit their lives to those areas only.
