American Woman's Home: Or, Principles of Domestic Science; by Beecher and Stowe
"American Woman's Home: Or, Principles of Domestic Science; by Beecher and Stowe" is a manual published in 1869 by Catharine Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe. This influential guide presents a revolutionary vision of the American home, advocating for practical design over ornate decoration and communal spaces that eliminate the need for servants. The sisters detail everything from efficient kitchen layouts to furniture construction, aiming to elevate women's domestic work through education and
thoughtful design. Their principles shaped home economics as a field and influenced modern house design. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
