Summary "Household Organization" by Mrs. Caddy is a practical guide focused on improving domestic life and efficiency, likely written in the late 19th century. The work addresses the challenges faced by middle-class families, particularly in managing household responsibilities and employing domestic staff. Drawing on the context of societal changes and economic pressures, the book's central theme revolves around maximizing home comfort and beauty while promoting self-reliance and effective management of domestic tasks. The opening portion of the work sets the tone for a call to action, emphasizing the current domestic difficulties, such as the increasing challenge of finding skilled servants and the need for families to engage more actively in their household management. Mrs. Caddy critiques the previous culture of idleness and excess, contrasting it with the potential benefits of returning to simpler, more manageable lifestyles. She outlines the shift from a reliance on a large staff to a more economical model, with pointed observations on the importance of personal involvement in one's home. The preface serves as an introduction to her philosophy, suggesting that household work can be both practical and enjoyable, and sets the stage for her recommendations throughout the subsequent chapters.
