“Separate Spheres” Concept
“Cult of Domesticity” A woman’s “sphere” was in the home (it was a
refuge from the cruel world outside). Her role was to “civilize” her husband and
family.
An 1830s MA minister:The power of woman is her dependence. A woman who gives up that dependence on man to become a reformer yields the power God has given her for her protection, and her character becomes unnatural!
