What was the cult of true womanhood? How did this ideal fit into the new notion of domesticity?
What will be an ideal response?
The "cult of true womanhood" defined female values, such as piety, motherhood, and sexual passivity, in contrast to male values, such as aggressiveness in the competitive marketplace. This furthered a separation between home and the workplace. In the new notion of domesticity, the woman was in charge of the home, and the man was in charge of the workplace. Female values defined one sphere, and male values defined the other.
