Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "orgy of domesticity" refers to the emphasis on domesticity and femininity in the middle-class culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Therefore, middle-class women were most likely to participate in this phenomenon. Employed women would have had less time for domestic activities, polygamous women were not part of the mainstream middle-class culture at the time, and non-white women faced discrimination and exclusion from mainstream society.
