The Light of the Home by Harvey Green

From the greatest collection of American Victoriana comes a wonderful evocation of the lives of women 100 years ago. Harvey Green culls from letters and diaries, quotes from magazines, and looks at the clothes, samplers, books, appliances, toys, and dolls of the era to provide a rare portrait of daily life in turn-of-the-century America.
Harvey Green is a professor of history and thedirector of the Public History Program at Northeastern University. He is the author of The Uncertainty of Everyday Life, 1915-1945 (Arkansas, 2000) and Fit for America: Health, Fitness, Sport, and American Society 1830-1940 (Johns Hopkins, 1988). Mary-Ellen Perry was the principal curator of the exhibit The Light of the Home: Middle-Class American Women: 1870-1910 at the Margaret Woodbury Strong Museum in Rochester, New York.
