About This Item
1869 1ed Harriet Beecher Stowe Woman's Home Economics Cooking Americana
"There is nothing which has a more abiding influence on the happiness of a family than the preservation of equable and cheerful temper and tones in the [mother]."
― Catharine Esther Beecher
"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 eras most important writers, this book represents their attempt to direct women's acquisition and use of a variety of new household consumer goods available in the post-Civil War economic boom. It is an update to Catharine Beecher's influential "Treatise on Domestic Economy" and incorporates domestic writings by Harriet Beecher Stowe first published in The Atlantic in the 1860s.
This first edition, in a beautiful green cloth binding, features a lovely frontispiece as well as 77 in-text illustrations throughout!
