The main career for women during that time was to get married and take care of chores in the house.

Although largely ignored upon publication, it became enormously popular in the United States during the later 19th century and then in Britain, and its influence continued well into the twentieth century as it became part of many English Literature courses once adopted by\u00a0<a title=\"W.

The poem was an idealized account of Patmore&#8217;s courtship of his first wife, Emily Augusta Andrews (1824-1862), whom he married in 1847 and believed to be the perfect woman. According to\u00a0<a title=\"Carol T. Christ\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carol_T._Christ\">Carol Christ<\/a>, it is not a very good poem, \u201cyet it is culturally significant, not only for its definition of the sexual ideal, but also for the clarity with which it represents the male concerns that motivate fascination with that ideal.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 230px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/3\/37\/Millais_Mrs_Coventry_Patmore.jpg\/220px-Millais_Mrs_Coventry_Patmore.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"212\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Patmore&#8217;s wife Emily, the model for the Angel in the House, portrayed by John Everett Millais<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The life of a high or middle class woman in the Victorian Era can be described as a possession or a treasure of the family.
