Wording  -The term "domestic goddess" has two main origins: an ancient one referring to deities like the Greek goddess Hestia, and a modern one associated with the 19th-century ideal of the "Angel in the House" and its later popularization by figures like Nigella Lawson. The ancient origin relates to the revered Hestia (or her Roman counterpart, Vesta), the goddess of the hearth, home, and family life. The modern origin is tied to the Victorian era's Cult of Domesticity, which created an ideal of women as the moral and domestic center of the home as men's work moved outside the home.
