dc.description.abstractWomen of the nineteenth century were expected to live a certain lifestyle that emphasized the ideal that “the true woman's place was unquestionably by her own fireside--as daughter, sister, but most of all as wife and mother.” Women reigned in the domestic sphere and were forced to stay; anything outside the home was the domain of men. It was in these separate spheres where the concept of “true womanhood” first began to take form. The true woman was submissive to her husband, cared for and raised the children, and did not stray outside of her sphere of influence. These women were from the upper and middle classes. However, to be considered a true woman was often the goal for women of all social standings. It was the ideal that society had placed upon them as to how they should act and where their skills were best put to use.en_US
