Grandma And Standarditis (1917)

By William V. Casey

Book Overview

Grandma and Standarditis is a book written by William V. Casey and published in 1917. The book is a humorous take on the increasing obsession with standardization and efficiency in American society at the time. The story revolves around a grandmother who is resistant to change and the new ways of doing things, much to the frustration of her family and community. She is eventually diagnosed with ""standarditis"" - a fictional disease caused by an excessive adherence to standards and routines. The book uses satire and wit to comment on the growing trend of conformity and the loss of individuality in society. It is a light-hearted and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on a significant cultural shift in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
