This book is a history of the genesis and development of
vocational education for young women in the United States. Home
economics, trade training and commercial education the three key
areas of vocational training available to young women during the
progressive era are the focus of this work. Beginning with a study
of the "woman question," or what women were supposed to be, the
book traces the three curriculum areas from prescription, through
lively discussions of policy to the actual programs and student
responses to the programs. The author tells the story of education
for work from several different perspectives and draws on a vast
array of sources to paint this broad canvas of vocational education
for young women at the turn of the twentieth century.
