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.

Wow! A great read and eye-opening to read the history of my undergraduate degree. It really records the beginnings of feminism as it pertains to higher education. I purchased the book after reading a very good review in The New Yorker and can't possibly come close to writing a review as great as theirs. I can write that I think it would be a great choice for a book club since it informs so much about women, academics and HBCs. The dynamics of the misogyny that both white and women of color have had to deal with in the pursuit of an education and how men have used home economics to keep women "in their place" with their own misguided definition of the subject. It's truly something that should be mandatory for all genders as it informs science, math, engineering and finance. A wonderful read that was highly enlightening. Would make an outstanding movie much in the same vein as Hidden Figures, or a series about women on the order of Mad Men...Mad Women....are you listening Matthew Weiner?
