$16.00
101 Things for the Housewife to Do in 1949 by Lillie B. Horth and Arthur C. Horth is a charming and revealing post-war British household guide, reproduced for modern readers. Its practical advice ranges from cleaning and domestic routines to menu planning, home decorating, crafts and personal care. Once intended as helpful guidance for the home, the book is now equally interesting as an insight into social expectations, everyday life and women's roles in the late 1940s.
