Detailed explanation-1: -Victorian doctrine premised on the “doctrine of separate spheres.” This stated that men and women were different and meant for different things. Men were physically strong, while women were weak. For men sex was central, and for women reproduction was central. Men were independent, while women were dependent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Women’s “proper sphere", according to the ideology, is the realm of domestic life, focused on childcare, housekeeping and religion. In Europe and North America, the idealization of separate spheres emerged during the Industrial Revolution.
