What was the "cult of domesticity and what costs and benefits did it bring to middle-class women? to working-class women?

The "cult of domesticity" was the ideology that existed in the United States and Great Britain in the nineteenth century that women had to possess cardinal virtues, such as piety, purity, domesticity and submissiveness. However, this only applied to upper-class and middle-class women and working-class women were excluded from this due to prejudice present in society.

They speak Portuguese. :)
