The notion of a "woman's place is in the home" arose when a distinction was made between the private sphere (the home) and the public realm (the workplace and politics). This concept became prevalent in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution, when men were expected to work outside the home and women were expected to take care of the domestic sphere. It was reinforced by traditional gender roles and social norms, and persisted well into the 20th century.
