The Secret History Of Home Economics by Danielle Dreilinger
How Trailblazing Women Harnessed the Power of Home and Changed the Way We Live
Tracing the field from its 19th-century roots through its mid-20th-century heyday and rebranding as family and consumer sciences, this narrative shows how home economics opened doors for women, advanced nutrition, design, and consumer research, shaped policy and industry, and contributed to wartime mobilization—while confronting racism, sexism, and class bias—and argues for its enduring relevance.
