Barbara Welter’s definition of ‘the Cult of True Womanhood’: “…the attributes of True Womanhood, by which a woman judged herself and was judged by her husband, her neighbors and society, could be divided into four cardinal virtues—piety, purity, submissiveness and domesticity…With them she was promised happiness and power.”power
