<\/a>The Queen-like Closet, Or, Rich Cabinet was a cookery book published in 1670 by the English writer on household management, Hannah Woolley[a] (1622 \u2013 c.1675).<\/p><\/div>\n
Hannah Woolley(1622 \u2013 c.1675) was an English writer who published early books on\u00a0household management and cookery. She was probably the first person to earn a living doing this.<\/p>\n
Hannah Woolley offered guidance on a wide variety of topics in the domestic sphere, including recipes for health and beauty, as well as marriage and relationship tips. In the article The medicinal recipes of Hannah Woolley: everyday practice and female authority in seventeenth-century England<\/a>\u00a0Marina Juliana de Oliveira Soares, Professor of Education in the Humanities at Faculdade SESI-S\u00e3o Paulo, describes the seventeenth-century English woman writer\u2019s interest in medical care and the reasons that led her to publish texts on this topic.<\/p>\n The article\u00a0investigates the principles that governed the preparation of these recipes, Woolley\u2019s intentions in writing on this topic, and the way in which academic medicine was translated and practiced by women routinely during this period.\u00a0\u00a0Marina also\u00a0explores the medicinal recipes and advice directed toward women in order to assess the role they played in everyday healing and what these female functions can tell us about the medicine which was popular in England during the second half of the seventeenth century.<\/p>\n According to the article, a close reading of the medicinal recipes suggests not only that routine ingredients in cooking were used but that common treatments in Hippocratic and Galenic theory were recommended. Humor, for example,\u00a0is\u00a0mentioned in a recipe for vinegar syrup. The importance of female protagonism is notable in the dissemination of knowledge as well as in its practical implementation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How to cite this article:<\/p>\n Soares, M. J. de O..
