True Women were to hold the four cardinal virtues:

1. Piety - believed to be more religious and spiritual that men.
2. Purity - pure in hear, mind, and body.
3. Submission - held in "perpetual childhood" where men dictated all actions and decisions.
4. Domesticity - a division between work and home, encouraged by the Industrial Revolution; men went out in the world to earn a living, home became the woman's domain where a wife created a "haven in a heartless world" for her husband and children.

Background for understanding: (The idea of "The cult of True Womanhood," or "the cult of domesticity," sought to assert that womanly virtue resided in piety, submissiveness, and domesticity- The attributes of True Womanhood, by which a woman judged herself and was judged by her husband, her neighbors, and domesticity... Without them...all was ashes. With them she was promised happiness and power.).
