In den WarenkorbHard. 4th Edition. A Teacher's Manual of Elementary Laundry Work, authored by Fanny L. Calder and E.E. Mann and first published in 1891, represents a landmark in the Victorian movement to transform domestic duties into a disciplined, scientific pursuit. This foundational text was crafted during a pivotal era of social reform, ai…ming to professionalize home management and provide a rigorous curriculum for the burgeoning field of domestic economy. As a primary resource for educators across the British Empire, the manual reflects the nineteenth-century drive to elevate the status of women's work through structured instruction and the application of chemical and mechanical principles to the household.The manual provides a meticulous, step-by-step guide to the complex "washing day" rituals of the late 1800s. It moves systematically through the treatment of various textiles-from sturdy linens and cottons to delicate woolens and silks-emphasizing the importance of water temperature, the specific properties of hard and soft water, and the judicious use of soaps, starches, and "blues." Beyond mere manual labor, the authors delve into the technical operation of contemporary apparatus, offering authoritative guidance on the use of heavy irons, mangles, and wringers.Calder and Mann's prose is characterized by its directness and pedagogical clarity, designed to equip teachers with a standardized method for instilling habits of cleanliness, economy, and efficiency in their students. By codifying traditional household wisdom into a formal academic subject, this work serves as a significant historical record of the professionalization of domesticity. It stands as a fascinating artifact of an age that sought to improve society by bringing the precision of the laboratory into the heart of the family home.The front and back endpapers are toned. Small amount of wear around the corners of the boards and spine. Miscellaneous.

G+.** "Fanny Louisa Calder (1838-1923) was a pioneer of domestic science and was responsible for the Fanny Calder School of Domestic Science.She began running classes in 1874, which led to her eventually establishing her school based in St. Georges Hall in Liverpool. Her aim was to improve the diets and lifestyles of the people of Liverpool by teaching them how to cook and clean and look after themselves. With her progress in Liverpool, Fanny L. Calder wanted to promote women's education throughout the UK and so worked with similar institutions in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Yorkshire, resulting in the 1876 formation of the Northern Union of Training Schools of Cookery. The women's education movement founded its first national organisation in 1897, in which F.L. Calder played a fundamental role, the Association of Teachers of Domestic Science. Throughout her life F.L. Calder wrote numerous articles and letters about her mission of bringing domestic science into the education system whilst also promoting the distribution of affordable cookery books produced at the school. She also co-authored with the head teacher at the cookery school, E.E. Mann, the first laundry work teaching manual, 'A Teachers' Manual of Elementary Laundry Work' published in 1891. Fanny L. Calder also wrote a number of recipes herself, the most well-known being her War Cake recipe her original hand written copy of which is currently held in the Liverpool John Moores Universities Archives."
