Women were expected to focus on marriage, motherhood, and running the household, while men held power and influence in the public sphere.

One cause of women's subordination in nineteenth century America was the prevailing belief in the "separate spheres" ideology, which assigned women to the domestic sphere while men worked in the public sphere. This ideology limited women's opportunities for education, employment, and participation in public life.

There were clear boundaries between these spheres, with women traditionally confined to the private sphere while men engaged more in the public sphere.
One consequence of the concept of separate spheres was the perpetuation of gender roles and stereotypes, as it reinforced the idea that men belonged in the public sphere (work, politics) while women belonged in the private sphere (home, childcare).
