Summary:

"The occasion of this book is an article of mine in Harper's New Monthly Magazine for June, 1891, called "The Technique of Rest," which was an attempt to help, out of my own rather wide experience, some of the women who were tired. Thanks and appreciation were universal from the women who spoke of the article; it seemed to have touched the right chord, and for that I was very thankful, since the world of women is not destitute of effort, nor is its effort purposeless, but the purpose is too often methodless, and so, much brave effort is worse than wasted. This is particularly the case in home life, the demands of which must of necessity be multifarious and never-ending. Where woman has taken her place in business she has found her method ready-shaped for her, and following that, she does her work, if with a certain amount of monotony, yet without undue fatigue"-- Book.
