Stay-at-home daughter
The stay-at-home daughter (SAHD) movement is a subset of the biblical patriarchy and biblical womanhood movements, particularly within the United States and New Zealand. Adherents believe that "daughters should never leave the covering of their fathers until and unless they are married."[1] This means preparing to be a wife and mother, as well as eschewing a university education. For most stay-at-home daughters this involves a focus on the "domestic arts" such as cooking, cleaning and sewing.[2] Julie Ingersoll suggests that the purpose of stay-at-home daughters is to "learn to assist their future husbands as helpmeets in their exercise of dominion by practicing that role in their relationship with their father."[3]
