Description : In recent years, social and and economic pressures have combined to affect the traditional role of the homemaker. With much emphasis being placed on the world of ‘work’ as opposed to the life of the ‘home’, many people now struggle to fulfill several functions simultaneously.
This increasingly busy and hectic climate has led to an apparent downgrading of the work of home. So is there any real place for the homemaker in modern life?
Veronika van Duin shows that the task of homemaking is at the centre of our social existence. Its role is nothing less than a ‘social art’ and homemaking needs to be consciously formulated if we are to develop happy and contented family lives. The author offers principles and observations based on a study of the seven ‘life processes’ and how they affect us. She addresses the significance of rhythm, relationships, artistic environment, caring, self-development, and much more besides in this valuable book.
