A Study of the Diet of the Labouring Classes in Edinburgh: Carried Out Under the Auspices of the Town Council of the City of Edinburgh (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book investigates the diets of working-class families in Edinburgh during the late 19th century. The authors, who included Elsie Inglis, a pioneer of women's healthcare, examined the dietary habits of representative families, recording a week's worth of meals and conducting social studies to understand their circumstances. The results are presented in a series of studies, each focusing on a particular family and their experiences. The book offers insights into the challenges faced by working-class families in obtaining sufficient and nutritious food, shedding light on the socio-economic conditions of the time. The authors explore the impact of low wages, irregular employment, and high living costs on the ability to provide adequate sustenance. The book also highlights the significance of women's roles in managing household finances, often supplementing the family income through various means. This book provides valuable historical documentation of dietary habits and household economics among working-class families in Edinburgh during this period. It underscores the importance of understanding the relationship between nutrition, health, and social circumstances, with implications that are still relevant today.
