Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-16 00:00:00 Jeff Hinkle My sister gave me a copy of this book for Christmas a couple years ago. I get so much amusement out of reading it. It's no great work of literature, obviously, but it is a marvelous time capsule of what it meant to be a young woman in the 1850s, and that is truly fascinating.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-07 00:00:00 David Yarowsky This book is a very practical how to guide for a young and inexperienced woman thrust into to position of having to manage a home. Parts of it, including the basics of household budgeting, are surprisingly relevant today.
