More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of the Department of Home Economics at UC Berkeley from 1905 to 1954, the narrative explores the interplay between gender and academic status. By examining how traditionally female-dominated departments are perceived and valued, the author challenges existing theories in higher education. The book highlights the systemic marginalization of these programs, revealing how they often face elimination or lack of support when deemed unessential, prompting a reevaluation of gender's role in academic structures.
