By James Whitehead II and James Whitehead

Book Overview

The Wife's Domain, written by Philothalos and published in 1879, is a book that explores the role of women in marriage and society. The author, James Whitehead, presents a detailed examination of the duties and responsibilities of wives, arguing that their domain should be the home and family. He believes that women should focus on their domestic duties and leave the public sphere to men.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the wife's domain. Whitehead discusses the importance of a wife's role in raising children, maintaining a household, and supporting her husband. He also explores the idea of submission and obedience in marriage, arguing that women should be subservient to their husbands.Throughout the book, Whitehead makes use of religious references and quotes from the Bible to support his arguments. He presents a traditional view of marriage and gender roles, which may be controversial in modern times. However, the book provides valuable insights into the attitudes and beliefs of people in the late 19th century.Overall, The Wife's Domain is a thought-provoking book that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the past. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of gender roles and marriage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
