"American Woman's Home: Or, Principles of Domestic Science" by Catharine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe is a guidebook focused on domestic science written in the mid-19th century. The work aims to elevate the status and remuneration of domestic roles, emphasizing the significance of women’s contributions to family life and society. The book discusses a range of topics from household management to health, with a deep dive into the ideals of Christian living and the importance of creating a harmonious home environment. The opening of the text sets forth the authors’ convictions regarding the undervaluation of women’s domestic roles and highlights a societal need for better training and appreciation of women's responsibilities within the home. It lays the groundwork for what domestic science entails, promoting a vision where home management is seen not only as a duty but as an elevated profession. The authors introduce their qualifications and experiences, asserting that the issues faced by women stem from a lack of proper training and recognition of their roles, and they set the stage for exploring concepts such as family structure, healthful living, and the moral implications of domestic work.
