Cult of domesticity

The cult of domesticity, also known as the cult of true womanhood (by people who like it), is a view about women in the 1800s. They believed that women should stay at home and should not do any work outside of the home. There were four things they believed that women should be:

1. More religious than men
2. Pure in heart, mind, and body
3. Submit to their husbands
4. Stay at home

These were very popular in the 1800s and in the 1950s. Now most women reject this view.
