Hurt my back yesterday, feeling better now, but taking it slowly. I've just read the August chapter from The Countryman's Log Book by Frances Wolseley (check my blog) and will continue with this clothbound edition of A Memoir of Jane Austen by her nephew. I still didn't finish my #JaneAustenJuly 😍

It’s Friday, let’s read: Gardening for women and Frances Wolseley
Preparing The Frames At Studley College For Lady Gardeners. From the book Gardening for women(Edited 03/08/2025: Monica was so kind to search online for the book The Countryman’s Log Book and shared the link in the comments. Thank you so much! I’m adding the link also in the post)
This week, the British Library shared a link to the online exhibition “Frances Wolseley: Gardener, activist, aristocrat” at LibraryOn, that shows the importance Wolseley had in promoting gardening as a profession for women. The exhibition is based on the special collections found in the libraries and it’s really interesting. You check it here.
Wolseley also wrote several books, now in public domain, so I thought that for the weekend I could share the links to Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive where you can download them and read them in whatever device you have (yes, even in a browser).
Gardening for Women – 1908 – a practical guide for women who wanted to follow gardening as a profession
In a College Garden – 1916 – About running a college for women gardeners
Women and the Land – 1916 – About the need to grow food during and after wartime
Gardens: their form and design – 1919 – Garden design (with beautiful illustrations, I think I’ll start with this one)
The Countryman’s Log Book – 1921 – About farming and old English traditions (It seems really interesting and is divided into months. Thank you to Monica that shared the link in the comments down below!)
She also published two more books that collected her articles published in a magazine (Some of the Smaller Manor Houses of Sussex and Historic Houses of East Sussex and their Owners). It’s not easy to find her books in paper either.
I hope you have a great weekend and happy reading!
