It's great for anyone interested in the Victorian era.

way of life. It has some good illustrations a well.
Rating: 4
Summary: Some interesting points and a light read
Comment: This book has some interesting tidbits and some cute details about women's life 100 years ago. Lots of info about how they dressed and personal hygiene and some housework information. It is an easy read. The book is over 200 pages, but the margins are huge. I'm an old house fanatic and a history buff and this book didn't quite hit the spot for me, but it's in my personal library as a good reference work.
However, if you can only buy one or two books about life 100 years ago, I'd recommend "Never done" by Susan Strasser and "Victorian America" by Thomas Schlereth.
These books get to the nitty gritty and have more substance. Again, "Light of the Home" is not a bad book - I bought it, after all and I kept it! It's in my top five favorite books of women's life in history. I'd just put a couple books above it, in my personal preferences.

Summary: The Light of the Home
Comment: After remodeling my home with victorian woodwork and accessories, I was curious about the lifestyle of the average victorian. The book contains numerous pictures and historical information which gave me a broad understanding of their lives.
