1924 New Days-New Ways: The Arrangement of the House and Its Work, with Suggestions that make for Greater Efficiency in the Kitchen and Greater Satisfaction in Cooking

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

First edition. A very scarce volume. 

In the publisher's original cloth binding. 

Illustrated with a monochrome frontispiece and twenty-two plates. Collated, complete. 

This work offers a series of areas in the home that may be improved to suit the changed economical and domestic conditions of the interwar period, including the increase of job opportunities for women. In the foreword, the author states "Everything that wastes her time and strength, that causes unprofitable labour, stands condemned". 

Hints include labour-saving windows, built-in furniture, central heading, the efficient kitchen and mechanical maids (with a description of a manual washing-up machine). Part II primarily handles the kitchen, including cookery methods and recipes. 

From Lucy Helen Yates, a British suffragist and writer on cookery and finance. She left the Pankhursts' Women Social and Political Union to join the Women's Freedom League in 1907, with her job being to write about the difference between the two organisations. 

With three leaves of publisher's advertisements to the rear.
