The Four Ideals​

The Cult of True Womanhood

The Cult, as some people called it, was divided into four main parts; Piety, Purity, Submissiveness, and Domesticity.

​​

The Rights of the "True Woman":

 

    The right to love whom others scorn,

    The right to comfort and to mourn,

    The right to shed new joy on earth,

    The right to feel the soul's high worth,

    Such woman's rights a God will bless

    And crown their champions with success
