EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs C.S. Peel, née Dorothy Constance Peel (1868-1934), was a prolific journalist and author, renowned for her expertise in household management and domestic history. During the tumultuous period of the First World War, she gained significant recognition for her weekly column, "La Menage," which provided valuable advice on economizing in the kitchen. As the war escalated, Mrs Peel's counsel became increasingly essential, and she was appointed as a co-director of the Women's Service in the Ministry of Food, sharing this esteemed position with Mrs Pember Reeves. In this role, she played a pivotal part in ensuring the nation's food supplies were used effectively and efficiently, allowing families to maintain a semblance of normalcy amidst the chaos of war. In this portrait, taken in 1917, Mrs Peel is depicted in her element, donning a thoughtful expression as she peers over her glasses. The image encapsulates the resilience and determination of women during this era, as they adapted to the challenges of wartime and continued to uphold the vital role of maintaining a home and caring for their families. Mrs Peel's enduring legacy as a journalist, writer, and advisor on household management serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of women during the First World War.
