S. Peel is a practical guide written in the early 20th century that explores the concept of homes designed to minimize manual labor in domestic settings. The central thesis of the work is that modern innovations and thoughtful design can significantly reduce the time and effort spent on household tasks, thus improving quality of life. The text addresses the ongoing issues of labor shortages in domestic service and advocates for homes that empower individuals—especially women—by making domestic management easier and more efficient. The opening of the book outlines the necessity for labour-saving houses, citing the increased scarcity of domestic servants and the evolving expectations of women in society. The author introduces various points highlighting the importance of adapting homes to be more efficient, such as minimizing unnecessary work through modern technology and designs. She also discusses the underestimated value of domestic training and knowledge for both employers and employees, setting the foundation for further exploration of practical solutions and examples of labour-saving arrangements in living spaces throughout the subsequent chapters.
