Raising the dust: the literary housekeeping of Mary Ward, Sarah Grand, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Abstract

To Mary Augusta Ward, Sarah Grand, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman housekeeping represents responsibilities in making the food supply safe, reforming politics, and improving the human race itself. Raising the Dust places their writing in the context of the late-Victorian era, in particular the eugenic movement, the proliferation of household conveniences, the home economics focus, and decreased reliance on servants.
