Förlagets beskrivning
The American Woman's Home, originally published in 1869, was one of the
late nineteenth century's most important handbooks of domestic advice. The
result of a collaboration by two of the era's most important woman writers,
this book represents their attempt to direct women's acquisition and use of a
dizzying variety of new household consumer goods available in the post-Civil
War economic boom. It updates Catharine Beecher's influential Treatise on
Domestic Economy (1841) and incorporates domestic writings by Harriet Beecher
Stowe first published in The Atlantic in the 1860s. Today, the book can be
likened to an anthology of household hints, with articles on cooking,
decorating, housekeeping, child-rearing, hygiene, gardening, etiquette, and
home amusements. The American Woman's Home, almost a bible on domestic topics
for Victorian women, illuminates women's roles a century and a half ago and can
be used for comparison with modern theories on the role of women in the home
and in society. Illustrated with the original engravings, this completely new edition
offers a lively introduction by Nicole Tonkovich and notes linking the text to
important historical, social, and cultural events of the late nineteenth
centur Originally published in 1869, this was one of the 19th centuries most
important handbooks of domestic advice - a collaboration by two of the era's
most important women writers. It represents their attempt to direct women's
acquisition and use of a variety of new household consumer goods.
