Abby Morton Diaz was a teacher at Brook Farm (1843-47) and, much later, a founder of the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union of Boston. She was an organizer in the Woman’s Clubs movement. Diaz was among the 19th century anti-vivisection activists. She was also among the early organizers of the movement sometimes called New Thought, which organized as the Metaphysical Club of Boston. Her religious association was Unitarian. Abby Morton Diaz was also known as a writer on a variety of topics, including women’s rights and children’s stories. Her writings appeared in The Atlantic Monthly and New England Magazine and other publications. Diaz also widely lectured on women’s rights including woman suffrage.' Written in 1895 A Domestic Problem : Work and Culture in the Household tackles the problem women have faced for decades. How can a woman balance running a household with learning about and enjoying culture. It is amazing how modern this book from over 100 years ago is and how it proves the point that the more things change the more they stay the same.
