Stage, Sarah, and Virginia Bramble Vincenti, eds. Rethinking Home Economics: Women and the History of a Profession. Ithaca: Cornell UP, 1997. Print.
The author of this book basically talks about the strides women have taken over the years to have others realize that Family and Consumer Science is a legitimate career. It’s important to know how we began and where we have been as a profession in order to shape where we wish to go. Throughout the text the documentation talks about issues from dietetics and parenting, teaching and cooperative extension work, to test kitchens and product development. This book also reveals the influences that gender, race and class have effected women’s options in colleges, hospitals, business and industries.
