Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Home Problems from a New Standpoint reframes the household not as a private sphere governed merely by custom, sentiment, or feminine instinct, but as a complex social and economic institution requiring trained intelligence. Written in th…e lucid, reform-minded prose of early twentieth-century home economics, the book brings scientific habits of observation to questions of food, labor, spending, sanitation, and family welfare. Its style is practical yet quietly polemical, placing domestic life within Progressive Era debates about efficiency, public health, education, and women's civic responsibility. Caroline Louisa Hunt was a pioneering American home economist whose work in nutrition, household management, and public education helped define the emerging discipline of home economics. Associated with the movement to professionalize women's domestic knowledge, she wrote from the conviction that the home was central to national well-being. Her experience as an educator and government specialist informed her insistence that domestic problems were neither trivial nor purely individual, but connected to broader structures of industry, consumption, and social reform. This book is recommended to readers interested in women's history, Progressive Era reform, domestic science, and the intellectual origins of modern family and consumer studies. It remains valuable for its historically situated yet still provocative argument: that everyday household decisions deserve serious analysis because they shape health, labor, citizenship, and social progress.
