On today's episode we are joined by Laura Danger, a licensed educator, certified coach and creator from Chicago who has been teaching and facilitating for over 12 years. Laura, also known by her social media handle as thatdarnchat, uses her incredibly successful social presence to empower overwhelmed caregivers to value their own time and the priceless care labour they provide. She popularised the term Weaponised Incompetence (referring to people, mainly men, who deliberately do a task poorly in order to not be asked to do it again) and regularly speaks of domestic labour, sexism and systems of oppression. In this episode, we delve into all of this and the nuances of hyper-individualism, class, intersectionality and feminism within domestic labour and the obsession with the nuclear family. Texts discussed:-⁠Emotional Labor by Rose Hackman⁠-⁠Fair Play by Eve Rodsky⁠-⁠How We Show Up by Mia Birdsong⁠Texts mentioned:-⁠Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall⁠-⁠The Secret History of Home Economics by Danielle Dreilinger

When most people think of home economics, they imagine women baking muffins and caring for practice babies. But in this throwback episode, we're learning that the field was much more than just “stitching and stirring.” It was an empowering way for women to gain respect and recognition. Journalist and author Danielle Dreilinger joins V for a look back at the history of home economics and how it shaped American culture. We'll hear about the personal lives of home economics women who decided to either stay at home or join the workforce. Plus, what role HBCUs and science universities like MIT played in creating this field, and how unsung economists of color helped push the movement forward.  Follow Danielle on Twitter at @djdreilinger.

Home Economics: Why Now? - Danielle Dreilinger The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series The Secret History of Home Economics Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview series on radio and podcast.  I'm Paul Vogelzang, and for all of us in The Not Old Better Show audience, the term “home economics” may conjure traumatic memories of lopsided hand-sewn pillows or sunken muffins.  But the common conceptions obscure the real story and value of the once-revolutionary “science of better living.” The field exploded opportunities for women in the 20th century by reducing domestic work and providing jobs as professors, engineers, chemists, and businesspeople. And, according to our Smithsonian Associates guest today, author Danielle Dreilinger it has something to teach us today: that everyone should learn how to cook a meal, balance their bank account, and fight for a better world. Danielle Dreilinger will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up so check out our website for more information.  But, we have Danielle Dreilinger today, and we'll talk about her new book, The Secret History of Home Economics: How Trailblazing Women Harnessed the Power of Home and Changed the Way We Live, and she'll traces the field's of Home Economics history and the achievements of the women in it who 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. Danielle Dreilinger will discuss the racism within the movement and the strides taken by women of color who were influential leaders and innovators. She also looks at women's personal lives in the field, as they chose to be single, shares lives with other women, or try for egalitarian marriages. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview series, author, and Smithsonian Associate, Danielle Dreilinger. My thanks to author Danielle Dreilinger who will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates, so check out our website for more information.  My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience on radio and podcast.   Check out the Smithsonian Associates site for ticket details and more information:  https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/home-economics

This is the third episode is a series on Home Economics and the book The Secret History of Home Economics by Danielle Dreilinger. In the first episode, I talked to you about my personal family history. In the last episode, we talked about how Home Economics grew and moved outside of personal homes in the 1800s and early 1900s. Listen to all of the episodes in this series: The History of Home Economics In Lisa's Family - #492 The Secret History of Home Economics Part 1 (1800-1940) - #493 In this episode, we pick up the timeline at World War II. The ending of the war brought a change with fewer women in the workforce and fewer women going to college. Two-thirds of women were married by the time they reached age 24. Despite new technology, in the 1950s, these women were still spending 52 hours a week on housework. At this time the American Home Economics Association defined Home Economics as being concerned with strengthening family life.  A divide emerged. On one side were women who understood the original definition of Home Economics. They believed that what happens at home is important, is a science, and should be studied in higher education. On the other hand, there were children of the next generation like me who were taught that Home Economics was about socialization and based on what the government and consumer brands wanted for society. You either had to be a fulltime homemaker or have a fulltime career. Jobs held by men generally brought in enough income for women to have the luxury of being primary homemakers. There were still scientific advancements being made in the field of Home Economics during this time period, but brands like Betty Crocker and Johnson & Johnson were driving the narrative of what it meant to run your family. I love digging into the history of divides in thinking like this. My grandmother never understood the controversy. She said to just do the work! It doesn't matter where the work is or what the work pays. Just do the work.  As we move forward, I want to talk more about the division of housework. How did housework go from being all women's work to now being a discussion about having equity at home? What I really want you to see is the invisible work that is being done at home. Much of what we do is on autopilot and was learned from our mothers and grandmothers. There is a shift in process. Everyone in the family wants to feel valued for the work that they are contributing to the family.  In the next episode, I'll share how I worked myself out of being a fulltime stay-at-home mom to being a working mom who traveled for six weeks last summer. (Spoiler alert! Nothing fell apart at home while I was gone!)

Last week, I shared with you some of the history of my family of origin, which has given me the perspective that I have regarding home economics. You can listen to that episode here. In this episode, I'm diving into the content of The Secret History of Home Economics by Danielle Dreilinger. This is a meaty book and a fascinating read!  Home Economics was the path that was created for women to enter college and earn college degrees. Women like Catherine Beecher, Ellen Swallow, and Margaret Murray Washington led the way in the field. Home Economics at that time was about an ideal home life that was unhampered by tradition and which utilized modern science for better productivity. It was about the study of food properties and diets as well as experiments with bacteria, standardization of clothing measurements, and so much more. This is the time in which MY grandmothers were living and earning their Home Economics degrees. They were learning that what you do at home affects the larger American economy. Running your home like a business is a thing and it impacts more than just your family! I hope that you found this history as informative and as interesting as I did! I shared a few ways that we are making changes in our home to be better examples for and to teach our children how to stretch their budget and food supplies. How will you use this knowledge about Home Economics to make changes in how you run YOUR home? What missing skills will you be teaching your children now in light of the current state of the economy? In the next episode, we will talk about how the view of home economics shifted after World War II.  The Launching Life Skills Bundle is a great resource for the young adults in your life! We've put together digital training and the essential portions of our physical resources to help your high schooler, college student, or young professional prepare to transition from living at home as a kid to being an independent adult.

Last summer while I was on The Paper Solution®  book tour in Chicago, an attendee recommended that I read The Secret History of Home Economics by Danielle Dreilinger. It sounded interesting so I grabbed the audiobook.  Oh my! I couldn't listen fast enough! When I got home, I had to have a paper copy of the book to take notes and dive deeper.  Over the last year, I've been digesting and contemplating what I read in this book. I'm now ready to share my thoughts and reflections over the course of several podcast episodes this month.  First, I want to talk to you about my latest reflection on my family of origin and how this reflection has created a greater understanding for me of the role women in my history have had and then next week we will dive into the content of the book. In this episode, I share about the families on both my dad's side and my mom's side and the difference between the two in terms of average life span, education, and family practices. I go into depth about my mom's side of the family where we have a long history of women going to college and becoming entrepreneurs. The Secret History of Home Economics helped me understand why each generation in my family thought about and experienced a different college and work experience - even with the same college subject degree!  This was the foundation from which I went to college, became an entrepreneur, developed a love for travel, and now understand home economics. I also share with you the origin of my "grandma name" that I hope Grayson will use once he starts talking! - but so far I respond to anything!! What was your family of origin like? What is your background in understanding home economics? History is SO fascinating! There is an economy at home and work to be done at home that is valuable. At Organize 365®, we're figuring out what that work is, defining it, and eliminating Swiss Cheese organization. The journey begins with the Sunday Basket® System to organize your actionable paper and continues to organizing the rest of your home with The Productive Home Solution™. Then you can take that success into your work with the Friday Workbox®. Join me as I teach you the skill of home organization and make visible the invisible work that is done at home!

September 24, 1902. A new cooking school is set to open at Boston's 30 Huntington Avenue. The rooms will soon be filled with trainee cooks, who will watch in awe as the school's namesake and principal, Fannie Farmer, lectures on everything from boning meats to baking the perfect reception rolls. Farmer is an innovative cook, and a pioneer in a thriving women's culinary movement known as "domestic science." But her school stands at a crossroads of that very movement and begs the question, what is the purpose of food? Who was Fannie Farmer, “the mother of level measurements”? And how did she shape the way we cook and eat today?Special thanks to our guests, Laura Shapiro, author of Perfection Salad; Danielle Dreilinger, author of The Secret History of Home Economics; and Anne Willan, author of Women in the Kitchen.

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 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. Danielle Dreilinger is a former New Orleans Times-Picayune education reporter and a Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow. She also wrote for the Boston Globe and worked at the Boston NPR station

The field of home economics often conjures images of domesticity, not training women for revolutionary roles in the workplace. Danielle Dreilinger joins host Krys Boyd to talk about how these courses opened doors for women outside the home, vaulting them to careers as scientists, businesswomen, professors and more. Her book is “The Secret History of Home Economics: How Trailblazing Women Harnessed the Power of Home and Changed the Way We Live.”

SHOWNOTES:•    The founders wanted home economics to be a professional field that gave women career opportunities in business and in science and then teaching and that it helped housewives and women working in the home to do their work more quickly and more efficiently and to focus on what they actually needed to focus on with housekeeping so that they would have time to do other things, whether that be studying or a paying job, or taking care of their children. (5:55)•    I looked up in the 1960s, the 1950s and 1960s when the feminine mystique and post-war World War II era of repression was really under way. It's just extraordinary how young women got married and then for that matter, and how many women, did not continue that. They just didn't continue their education at all. I forget the exact numbers, but tons of women just dropped out once they got married, and yeah, for some of them, it was voluntary, but there were also just, in countless careers, that would not let married women work there. (10:19)•   The value was appreciation of their clothes, is really what it came down to in the beginning. Well, it was midway through the semester, I found a video, I think I found it on YouTube or something, but it was about the cost of clothing, and it was so impactful for not just for me, but for all my students, that's all that they can talk about for a couple of weeks going, they were able to look at their clothes and go, Oh my gosh, the clothes that I just bought is doing to the world what it's doing, it's tearing apart a community because there's so much waste, and it's destroying water because there's so much water that is used and waste that it's not recycled or up-cycled anymore. (25:47)• That is, we do now that is using Google, using YouTube, using all of these technology technological tools that we have at our fingertips at all times. Now, we are constantly inundated with new information and being able to streamline new things and to utilize old understandings with new concepts, and it's a beautiful marriage between the two, and being able to use YouTube as your learning platform, I think that's innovation right there, and being able to finally be able to figure out what the correct terminology was for that be coil or your stove, to being able to properly identify tools and components, it's important. And it just kinda goes on with what you're talking about, it's important to be able to have that foundation. (40:54)•   I think that the field, this is a great time for the field to revive. In fact, when I first got the idea to write this book, even before I knew anything about, even before I knew about Ellen Richards attending MIT, I said, Wait a second. Home Economics. What happened to Home Economics? Shouldn't it be back by now? And this was 2016. I had this idea. So this is pre-pandemic, this was just me thinking about HGTV and the Food Network, and all sorts of the revival of interest in knitting and all sorts of DIY stuff and nutrition at so many topics like parenting and growing emphasis. Push away from standardized tests or discomfort with standardized tests, I was like, Shouldn't this be back by now? So I think that now, after the covid experience, is all the more reason to the field to come back.
