The set of ideals was categorized under a certain title of “womanhood”. Broken into four sections, the ideals included piety, purity, submissiveness, and domesticity. Piety, showing display of religious dedication and morality, was crucial, because at this point in history women were considered more moral and religious then men. Their duty, therefore, was to bring men to God and morality. This moral superiority of women was a switch from the previous Puritan view of women, mostly due to the influence of the Second Great Awakening. Most of the converts of the Second Great Awakening were women because they had not been given the chance to participate in the First Great Awakening, and were eager to be involved.
