"Model Woman." Although less ethereal than her
predecessor, The Lady, the Model Woman is quite as much an attempt to
reconcile the dualistic attitude, with its Divine Mother cult on the one
hand, and its belief in the essential evil of the procreative process
and the uncleanness of woman on the other, to human needs. The
characteristics of the Model Woman must approximate those of the Holy
Virgin as closely as possible. Her chastity before marriage is
imperative. Her calling must be the high art of motherhood. She must be
the incarnation of the maternal spirit of womanhood, but her purity must
remain unsullied by any trace of erotic passion.

A voluminous literature which stated the virtues and duties of the
Model Woman blossomed out in the latter part of the eighteenth and first
half of the nineteenth century.[43] The Puritan ideals also embodied
this concept. It was by this attempt to make woman conform to a
standardized ideal that man sought to solve the conflict between his
natural human instincts and desires and the early Christian teaching
concerning the sex life and womanhood.
