THE DOMESTIC REVOLUTION: How the Introduction of Coal into Victorian Homes Changed Everything
Traces the tectonic shift from wood to coal in the mid-16th century--from sooty trials and errors during Queen Elizabeth I's reign to Queen Victoria's smog-clouded reign. A pattern of innovation emerges as the women stoking these fires also stoked new global industries from better soap to clean smudges to new ingredients for cooking. Photos.
