"Household Administration, Its Place in the Higher Education of Women" edited by Alice Ravenhill and Catherine J. Schiff is an educational publication written in the early 20th century. This work aims to highlight the significance of household administration in the context of modern women's education, advocating for a scientific understanding of domestic roles to foster independence and efficiency in home management. The book emphasizes the need for women to receive specialized training in domestic arts to handle the increasing complexities of household management in contemporary society. The opening of the book presents a preface outlining its primary objectives: to define the relevance of household administration, to advocate for adequate preparation for those undertaking these responsibilities, and to promote the recognition of domestic arts as an educated discipline rather than mere instinct. The authors argue for the necessity of organized instruction in household sciences to adapt to evolving social, industrial, and educational demands. They assert that women must not only be proficient in managing households but also be equipped with scientific knowledge to navigate their roles effectively, thereby enhancing their contributions to family life and society.
