The Cult of Domesticity was the
idea of how the home life was
supposed to be set up in order to
be "proper." It mainly focused on
what women's ideals and duties
should be. This was popular in the
19th century.
The ideals and
duties of women
were supposed to
revolve around piety,
purity, domesticity,
and submissiveness.
Piety meant that
women were to be
faithful to their god.
Purity meant they were
to not have child out of
wedlock and not give
in to temptation of
man. Submissiveness
mainly regarding their
acts towards their men
and their choice of
clothing. Domesticity
meant to keep the
women at home doing
'womenly' duties.
This idea was everywhere, even books, such as
"Godey's Lady's Book."
