Book Overview

"The Cost of Living as Modified by Sanitary Science" by Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards, published in 1900, delves into the intricate relationship between household economics and public health. Richards, a pioneer in the field of home economics, explores how sanitary practices directly impact the cost of living. This seminal work examines various aspects of daily life, from food and nutrition to hygiene and household management, offering practical advice on how to improve living conditions while minimizing expenses.

Richards emphasizes the importance of scientific principles in maintaining a healthy and efficient household. She provides detailed analyses of common household expenses, advocating for informed consumer choices and efficient resource management. By integrating the principles of sanitary science into everyday life, Richards argues, individuals can not only reduce their financial burden but also enhance their overall well-being. This book remains a valuable resource for understanding the historical roots of home economics and the ongoing relevance of its principles in contemporary society.
