How To Cook Husbands is a satirical book written by Elizabeth Strong Worthington, first published in 1899. The book is a humorous take on the stereotype of women being responsible for cooking and taking care of their husbands. The title itself is a play on the phrase How to Cook which is often used in cookbooks, but instead of providing recipes for food, the book provides satirical advice on how to cook husbands.The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of cooking husbands. Some of the topics covered in the book include Choosing the Right Husband, How to Keep a Husband, and How to Train a Husband. The author uses humor and irony to poke fun at the traditional gender roles and expectations placed on women in the 19th century.Despite its humorous tone, the book also touches on serious issues such as the lack of agency women had in their own lives and the societal pressure to conform to gender norms. The book was considered controversial at the time of its publication, but it has since become a classic example of feminist satire.Overall, How To Cook Husbands is a witty and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on gender roles and relationships in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
