Who is The American Woman from Democracy in America and what is their importance?

Tocqueville views women as pillars of the peaceful order of the American society. He says that though the institution of marriage, the mothers and wives of America are able to keep the moral values of the family members safe. The author attributes this strength to the religious upbringing of the American woman; religion allows them to use the strong values of liberty and independence to the advantage of the family structure. This is in sharp contrast with the situation in aristocratic societies where the family structures and moral values are described as constantly decaying.
