Sarah Lewis (fl. 1839–1848) was a 19th-century writer known for her work "Woman's Mission" (London, 1839), published anonymously in 1839. This work advocated for the 'separate spheres' ideology, emphasising the moral influence of Christian mothers within the domestic sphere, which she believed could counter male dominance.[1] Lewis argued against extending women's roles into the public sphere, aligning with contemporaries like Sarah Stickney Ellis.[2]
