Marion Harland's 'Common Sense in the Household: A Manual of Practical Housewifery' is a comprehensive guide to domestic management written in a clear and accessible style. Published in 1871, this book provides practical advice on a wide range of topics such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and childcare, making it an essential resource for any 19th-century homemaker. Harland's emphasis on efficiency and simplicity reflects the changing role of women in society during this time period, as they took on more responsibilities in managing the home. The book also includes recipes and household tips that are both practical and innovative for its time. Harland's writing style is informative and instructional, making it easy for readers to implement her suggestions in their own household. Marion Harland, a pseudonym for Mary Virginia Terhune, was a popular 19th-century author known for her works on domestic science and etiquette. Her personal experiences and knowledge of household management likely inspired her to write 'Common Sense in the Household', a book that remains relevant and valuable even in today's modern world. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of domestic life and seeking practical advice for running a household efficiently.
