SUMMARY:Whiting Library Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Whiting Library Book Club is holding our monthly book discussion at the library in the community room (masks required!) and simultaneously live on Zoom. The book for March is The Secret History of Home Economics by Danielle Dreilinger. \nFrom Amazon: \nThe surprising\, often fiercely feminist\, always fascinating\, yet barely known\, history of home economics. \nThe 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. \nIn 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. \nHome 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. \nThis 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. \n\nIf you have any questions or would like to get on the email list for the Book Club\, please contact Deirdre at the library. You can email whitinglibrary1@gmail.com or call 875-2277.
