“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.
