Sebbene le sorelle fossero cresciute in una famiglia [[Universalismo|universalista]] e avessero opinioni politiche e religiose liberali e riformiste, frequentavano spesso le funzioni metodiste, presbiteriane e congregazionaliste ed erano amichevoli con i ministri di tutte queste denominazioni e di altre. Secondo Phoebe,
While the sisters were raised in a [[Universalist]] household and held political and religious views that were liberal and reformist, they often attended Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist services and were friendly with ministers of all these denominations and others. According to Phoebe,

Quando Alice aveva 17 anni e Phoebe 13, iniziarono a scrivere versi che venivano stampati sui giornali. La madre era morta nel 1835 e due anni dopo il padre si era risposato. La matrigna era del tutto indifferente alle aspirazioni letterarie di Alice e Phoebe. Da parte loro, pur essendo pronte e disposte ad aiutare con tutte le loro forze nei lavori domestici, le sorelle persistevano nella determinazione di studiare e scrivere quando il lavoro della giornata era finito. A volte veniva loro negato l'uso delle candele, per quanto desiderassero, e lo strumento di un piattino di lardo con un pezzo di straccio come stoppino era la loro unica luce dopo che il resto della famiglia si era ritirato.<ref name="appletons">{{cita libro|url=https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Appletons%27_Cyclop%C3%A6dia_of_American_Biography/Cary,_Alice|autore=Wilson, J.

When Alice was 17 and Phoebe 13, they began to write verses, which were printed in newspapers. Their mother had died in 1835, and two years afterward their father married again. Their stepmother was wholly unsympathetic regarding the literary aspirations of Alice and Phoebe. For their part, while the sisters were ready and while willing to aid to the full extent of their strength in household labor, they persisted in a determination to study and write when the day's work was done. Sometimes they were refused the use of candles to the extent of their wishes, and the device of a saucer of lard with a bit of rag for a wick was their only light after the rest of the family had retired.<ref name="appletons">{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=Cary, Alice|year=1900}}</ref>
