The Historical Roots of Patriarchy and Gender Roles

Patriarchy, a societal system where men hold power and exclude women, has deep roots in history affecting both the home and church spheres. The cult of domesticity emerged, defining women's ideal roles as emphasizing piety, purity, submission, and domesticity, influenced by 19th-century sociological factors more than biblical teachings. Historical shifts during the Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution reinforced female subordination and focused on complementarity, linking women to domesticity as their primary role.
