Question

[dezelina.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone,

I am working with a text from 1909 and the title is as follows:

Домоведение: руководство для женских заведений и самообучения

So I am asking any native speakers, what the best translation would be for this title.  I can't locate Домоведение or самообучения in my dictionaries.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Домоведение is an old word for 'home economics' subject, and самообучение is the process of self-teaching/studying by oneself. :)

Домоведение means housekeeping
Самообучение means self-training

You can choose more appropriate terms if you understand what these words mean generally.

~housekeeper tutorial 8):

домоведение is house+learning = housekeeper(housevifes) work learnning

To elaborate: each of these words has two roots. Домоведение - дом and ведение (from verb вести - here, to be in charge of, to conduct); самообучение - сам and обучение, joined by particle 'o'.

Housekeeping, self-education.

Домоведенiе or домовѣденiе?
In that time writing first meant "conduction of house", second meant "knowlege of house", but I feel both meanings are close.

It actually was домовѣденiе

imho
домоведение = домоводство
слово "домоводство" чаще (часто) используется в современном русском языке.

[vlad-msk-ru.livejournal.com]

домоводство= the activity of people on the contents of the home and their lives in the house.
домоводство= Домашнее хозяйство (домоводство) — деятельность людей по содержанию жилища и организации своей жизни в доме.

[vlad-msk-ru.livejournal.com]

домоводство= (art of) housekeeping; household management

[vlad-msk-ru.livejournal.com]

it's correct:
Домоводство. Руководство для женских заведений и самообучения.

Домоводство:
