The lure of security, the desire for comfort and the need to feel important among others all conspire to rob us of our liberty.
We need voices that remind us what we have to lose and offer strategies to keep it.
A Journey with The American Frugal Housewife
You can find many versions of The American Frugal Housewife online. Most look to be in much better condition than this 1844 version found amongst my grandmother's belongings. I like this musty and mildewed old version. The stained pages tell me which bits were most used and read and which were perhaps skimmed and forgotten. I can almost feel the hands that touched it before mine. Some is laughable and archaic and some wise. All of it worth some thought.
