"Mrs. Hale's Receipts for the Million" by Sarah Josepha Buell Hale is a comprehensive guide on domestic economy written in the mid-19th century. This work serves as an extensive compendium of household tips, recipes, and practical advice pertaining to various aspects of home management, household tasks, and personal well-being, making it an essential resource for families of the time. The opening of the book introduces the author's conviction regarding the significance of household management as a central theme in women's lives. In her preface, Hale emphasizes the importance of practical knowledge for women, which she believes is crucial for maintaining a happy and efficient home. This initial section sets the tone for the detailed instructions to follow, which cover a wide range of topics including cleaning techniques, personal appearance, health, gardening, and even moral codes and etiquette—encapsulating the myriad responsibilities expected of women in the domestic sphere during that era.
