“a series of biographical sketches, a history of Womanhood Under Divine Culture, tending toward the development of that high ideal of woman which we find in modern Christian countries. All the characters comprised in these sketches belong to one nationality..."

¬– Harriet Beecher Stowe

Known mostly for her cultural defining work ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ Harriet Beecher Stowe presents a female-empowering religious text. Stowe herself said that she intended all of her writings to have religious tones, but especially the non-fiction titles. This book, written by both Harriet and Catharine Beecher, is a manual designed for female home-makers in the 19th-century. It covers topics such as caring for sick children and servants, how to manage time, learning and teaching manners, care for gardens and cultivating fruit, appropriate clothing, when to rise and go to bed, exercise, care for stoves and furnaces, as well as being involved in the Christian community. A very rare, and early American domestic manual.
