Autor

Thomas Webster was born in Orkney, United Kingdom, and educated at the University of Aberdeen. He was a prominent writer and intellectual in the 19th century, best known for his works on domestic economy and social issues. His notable publications include An Encyclopaedia of Domestic Economy (1844), which covered a wide range of topics related to housekeeping, from the construction and maintenance of domestic buildings to food preservation, cooking, and the care of health. This comprehensive work provided practical advice on daily living. Webster also authored Woman: Man's Equal in 1873, a pioneering socio-religious discourse advocating for women's equality in all aspects of life, challenging traditional views that limited women's roles. His work focused on dismantling societal and cultural barriers that relegated women to inferior positions, urging for equal opportunities in education, employment, and citizenship. Webster's contributions to domestic science and social reform continue to be recognized for their progressive views and practical guidance. Later, he also authored The American Family Encyclopedia of Useful Knowledge, which compiled a wide array of facts and practical advice for families, contributing to the ongoing intellectual discussions of his time.
