HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF HOME ECONOMICS

 First people noted to dedicate their lives to the domestic science was Catherine Beecher
 During the early nineteenth century, women were gaining traction with the suffrage movement.
  Beecher believed women should not gain equality by competing with men, but believed family
was most important and homemaking was the profession women should be seeking.
 Beecher envisioned a home economics course where women would receive an education in
domestic chemistry, housing, and economical arrangement of storage in the home. She believed
home economics to be a science and created “the Beecher Plan” for educating women in
professions that were open to women: teaching, child care, nursing, and “conservation of the
domestic state.”
 Home economics didn’t become a movement in our country until Ellen Swallow Richards
brought it to the forefront
 The Lake Placid Conferences, as they are called were, for the most part, held at the Club for the
first ten years. These conferences were conducted to meet and talk about the latest advances in
the subject. The group believed home economics would allow students the opportunity to
manage their own homes and be prepared for careers
 During the first conference, leaders in the field settled on a name for this practice to unify the
movement and called it “home economics.”
 in 1908, the American Home Economics Association was formed with Richards leading as
president for the first two years

 Richards also founded and funded the Journal of Home Economics, first published in 1909.

 In the tenth year of these conferences, Richards recognized the work of Beecher and reminded
everyone of the legacy Beecher had left to the field of home economics.

 These two women surely paved the way for the advances in women’s education and applying
scientific research into domestic situations.
