The woman's book : dealing practically with the modern conditions of home-life, self-support, education, opportunties, and every-day problems
A two-volume household and self-support manual for American women, issued by Charles Scribner's Sons in New York in 1894, covering home economics, interior decoration, dress, education and paid work. Pen-and-ink drawings mix fashion plates of 1890s gowns with leg-of-mutton sleeves, decorated fans and headpiece vignettes of women among flowers, giving designers period costume reference, ornamental chapter headings and cut-out figures for collage.
