Book Synopsis

As with the commander of an army, so is it with the mistress of a house. Isabella Beeton was only twenty three years old when she penned these words in Mrs Beeton''s Book of Household Management, first published in 1861. She could not have predicted how they would resonate with the women of England, nor could she have imagined how her name would become synonymous with culinary expertise and domestic bliss for generations to come.

Mrs Beeton Says... is a charming and vibrant musical examining the life and legacy of this extraordinary woman: a spirited journalist, a tireless entrepreneur, and if not a perfect homemaker, then certainly a queen of organization. In a world where a woman could not vote, own a house, nor even ride a bicycle, Mrs Beeton''s book gave the women of England something they desperately wanted: a bit of control.
