TI - „Every Housewife Must Be Comprehensively and Professionally Educated”. The Idea and Significance of Household Correspondence Courses Conducted by the „Bluszcz” Publishing Society
AB - The article presents the idea and significance of household correspondence courses conducted by the „Bluszcz” Publishing Society, intended for women from impoverished landed gentry, intelligentsia and bourgeoisie, professionally active, living in cities and towns within the borders of the Second Polish Republic. The source base was mainly used for notebooks published under the editorship of Elżbieta Kiewnarska and Wanda Dobrzańska, located in the collections of the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków. They were supplemented with household guides, press articles and advertising brochures. Based on the collected materials, the role of women in the family and in running a modern household and the social requirements placed on them were described. In addition, the following issues were addressed: professional and social activity, childcare, skilful management of servants, personal hygiene, diet, clothing, and home furnishings.
