Mrs. H. W. Beecher's |
This book (printed in 1873), composed of brief and pithy articles, on almost every conceivable point of household duty, is a friendly monitor for young wives, and a mine of god sense and information for growing maidens. Originally published in the Household Department of the "Christian Union" the articles have been so frequently called for and inquired after by those who had found help in them, that the author yielded to the desires of others and has gathered them into this little volume.
Mrs. Beechers notion of the woman's sphere, is, that , whatever exceptional woman may be able to accomplish, by reason of peculiar circumstances and talents, and freedom from domestic responsibilities, the place of labor and achievement for most women, and for all married women and mothers is Home.
