According to the ideals of the cult of domesticity, women were supposed to embody perfect virtue in all senses. Women were put in the center of the domestic sphere and were expected to fulfill the roles of a calm and nurturing mother, a loving a faithful wife, and a passive, delicate, and virtuous creature.
