The Culture of Domesticity (often shortened to Cult of Domesticity) or Cult of True Womanhood is a term used by historians to describe what they consider to have been a prevailing value system among the upper and middle classes during the 19th Century in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The “cult of true womanhood,” also called the “cult of domesticity”, was an ideology developed during the early 19th century that tied a woman's virtue to piety, submissiveness, and domesticity.
There were many ways in which the Renaissance revolutionized European art and thought, but in general it was through arts and sciences and a rediscovery of the human mind and body.
