Description
The Cost of Shelter by Ellen H. Richards is a pioneering work that delves into the economic and social aspects of housing in early 20th-century America. Drawing on her expertise as a chemist and home economist, Richards examines the fundamental question of what constitutes adequate shelter and how much it should reasonably cost for individuals and families. The book explores the relationship between income, housing quality, and health, emphasizing the importance of sanitary living conditions and efficient home management. Richards discusses the challenges faced by working-class families in securing safe and affordable homes, analyzing the impact of urbanization, industrialization, and changing social norms on domestic life. She provides practical advice on budgeting, construction, and the selection of materials, advocating for reforms in housing policy and urban planning to ensure that all citizens have access to decent shelter. Through detailed case studies, statistical data, and thoughtful commentary, The Cost of Shelter offers a comprehensive overview of the housing crisis of its time, while proposing forward-thinking solutions that remain relevant today. The book stands as a testament to Richards' commitment to social reform and her belief in the transformative power of science and education in improving everyday life.
