Addressed to the farmer's wife and to those women of modest means who, by necessity, do their own housework and cooking, James Breazeale's 1918 work teaches the American housewife the skills of canning and preserving in order to maximize her impact on the health, economy, and labor of her family. Not a cookbook, per se, this work is intended to aid the housewife by suggesting systems which will lessen the steps of the housewife and inspire her with some new ideas of economy. It is through the canning of vegetables and fruits, Breazeale attests, that the housewife will be able to practice old-fashioned thrift and thus preserve her family from poverty and want. The work also includes basic recipes for such staples as bread, cottage cheese, and mayonnaise dressing.

An analysis of how nineteenth-century women regional writers represent political economic thought Readers of late nineteenth-century female American authors are familiar with plots, characters, and households that make a virtue of economizing. Scholars often interpret these scenarios in terms of a mythos of parsimony, frequently accompanied by a sort of elegiac republicanism whereby self-sufficiency and autonomy are put to the service of the greater good--a counterworld to the actual economic conditions of the period. In Kitchen Economics: Women's Regionalist Fiction and Political Economy, Thomas Strychacz takes a new approach to the question of how female regionalist fictions represent "the economic" by situating them within traditions of classical political economic thought. Offering case studies of key works by Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary Wilkins Freeman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Rose Terry Cooke, and Alice Dunbar-Nelson, this study focuses on three complex cultural fables--the island commonwealth, stadialism (or stage theory), and feeding the body politic--which found formal expression in political economic thought, made their way into endless public debates about the economic turmoil of the late nineteenth century, and informed female authors. These works represent counterparts, not counterworlds, to modernity; and their characteristic stance is captured in the complex trope of feminaeconomica. This approach ultimately leads us to reconsider what we mean by the term "economic," for the emphasis of contemporary neoclassical economics on economic agents given over to infinite wants and complete self-interest has caused the "sufficiency" and "common good" models of female regionalist authors to be misinterpreted and misvalued. These fictions are nowhere more pertinent to modernity than in their alliance with today's important alternative economic discourses.
