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.
In the nineteenth century, the public sphere referred to spaces where individuals gathered to discuss societal issues and politics, such as coffee houses or newspapers. The private sphere, on the other hand, involved activities and relationships within the domestic realm, such as family life and personal matters. There were clear boundaries between these spheres, with women traditionally confined to the private sphere while men engaged more in the public sphere.

While there were many women who wanted the right to vote, there were also some who did not. These women tended to be very religious and very conservative. They believed politics was a dirty and low business, one that would expose women to vulgar language and political corruption. They also believed that men were better suited to be in the public sphere, since women (as they saw it) were commanded by God to be wives and mothers and remain in the domestic sphere.
