Often considered the seminal expert on society and civilization, Good Housekeeping was one of the first nationally popular women's magazines in the United States. With articles on all the major facets of a woman's life: household affairs, civility, and decorum; Good Housekeeping was revered as a national taste-setter and helped women across the country learn the laws of domesticity and the moral obligation of the fairer sex. Still published today by the Hearst Group, this magazine has had over a century of influence on popular culture and the shaping of national culture. This edition contains articles on "Social Graces", "Household Insects", "Food for Invalids", "Jellies and Jelly Making", "Woman and Woman's Clubs", "Some Summer-time Gatherings", and "Living on $10 a Week", among others, as well as recipes, poems, short stories, and personal letters. It also features a special section entitled "Home Duties and Pleasures" , a collection of 'thoughts' from across the U.S. gleaned from other publications, writers, journalists, and speakers. From the blandishment against suffrage for women to the repetition of old adages "a stitch in time saves nine", this time capsule is a perfect window into the era of domesticity and genteel civilization in the U.S. Boasting several famous writers throughout the course of publication, including Somerset Maugham, Edwin Markham, Edna St. Vincent Milay, Frances Parkinson Keyes, A. J. Cronin, Virginia Woolf, and Evelyn Waugh, Good Housekeeping had proven to be a timeless treasure trove of practicality and advice intended for women in all walks of life. This book would be great for someone doing historical research on the roles of women in the nineteenth century, someone interested in gender studies, journalism, print, or non-fiction writing.
