Book excerpt: The surprising, often fiercely feminist, always fascinating, yet barely known, history of home economics. The term “home economics” may conjure traumatic memories of lopsided hand-sewn pillows or sunken muffins. But common conception obscures the story of the revolutionary science of better living. The field exploded opportunities for women in the twentieth century by reducing domestic work and providing jobs as professors, engineers, chemists, and businesspeople. And it has something to teach us today. In the surprising, often fiercely feminist and always fascinating The Secret History of Home Economics, Danielle Dreilinger traces the field’s history from Black colleges to Eleanor Roosevelt to Okinawa, from a Betty Crocker brigade to DIY techies. These women—and they were mostly women—became chemists and marketers, studied nutrition, health, and exercise, tested parachutes, created astronaut food, and took bold steps in childhood development and education. Home economics followed the currents of American culture even as it shaped them. Dreilinger brings forward the racism within the movement along with the strides taken by women of color who were influential leaders and innovators. She also looks at the personal lives of home economics’ women, as they chose to be single, share lives with other women, or try for egalitarian marriages. This groundbreaking and engaging history restores a denigrated subject to its rightful importance, as it reminds us that everyone should learn how to cook a meal, balance their account, and fight for a better world.

Download or read book Rethinking Home Economics written by Sarah Stage and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, historians tended to dismiss home economics as little more than a conspiracy to keep women in the kitchen. This landmark volume initiates collaboration among home economists, family and consumer science professionals, and women's historians. What knits the essays together is a willingness to revisit the subject of home economics with neither indictment nor apology. The volume includes significant new work that places home economics in the twentieth century within the context of the development of women's professions. Rethinking Home Economics documents the evolution of a profession from the home economics movement launched by Ellen Richards in the early twentieth century to the modern field renamed Family and Consumer Sciences in 1994. The essays in this volume show the range of activities pursued under the rubric of home economics, from dietetics and parenting, teaching and cooperative extension work, to test kitchen and product development. Exploration of the ways in which gender, race, and class influenced women's options in colleges and universities, hospitals, business, and industry, as well as government has provided a greater understanding of the obstacles women encountered and the strategies they used to gain legitimacy as the field developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Girl's Problems in Home Economics: Healthful Clothing, Dress Design, Clothing Construction, Interior Decoration, Household Textiles, Care of the Home This book is designed for use as a text-book in the junior high school or the beginning high school grades. The material can be covered in two or three years' work, depending on the age of the student and the amount of time devoted to home economics. The authors have endeavored to select subject matter based on the particular interests of girls of this age and centered around their individual home activities. For this reason, in the units of work which deal with the house, the girl's own room, its care, arrangement and furnishing, have been chosen as suitable units of work. Likewise, the units of work in clothing construction, dress design and textiles deal with problems closely related to the girl's special interests and abilities. The chapters dealing with the house and with clothing are arranged in two separate sections. In each section the material has been put into sequential order of increasing difficulty. It is evident, therefore, that the beginning chapters in each section are intended for the beginning classes and the latter chapters for the more advanced classes. For example, where three years of work are given, Chapters 2 and 3 on clothing and Chapter 10 on the house are suited for use in the first year. Chapters 4 and 5 on clothing and Chapters 11, 12 and 13 on the house are suited for use in the second year and Chapters 6, 7, 8 and 9 on clothing and Chapters 14 and 15 on the house for use in the third year.
