About this book

Women’s education, paid work, and household responsibilities meet in William Hard’s five essays on social change. Originally magazine articles, the chapters move from delayed marriage and financial independence to training for family life, the use of leisure, and civic service. The opening follows Mary and John through an engagement stretched by his professional education and modest earnings, using their situation to examine the pressures behind postponed marriage.

Practical schooling gives the argument much of its detail. Hard describes a Wisconsin homemakers’ school where students study sanitation, house planning, accounts, food preparation, clothing, and children’s development. His account treats household spending and care as work requiring broad knowledge. Written in a direct, argumentative style, the collection offers a view of how industrial change was reshaping expectations for women and how education might connect domestic responsibilities with a wider public life.
