The Mother's bookEntry/Object ID
1990.9.1Description
Was aimed at “middling” and lower-class women and included advice on the rearing of children, particularly girls. Contrary to other domestic manuals of the day, it counseled that girls be educated in a way that would enable them to “support themselves respectably.” While contemporary reviewers found The Mother’s Book dangerously liberal, it met a need and consequently was popular.
