Synopsis

This book examines the impact of home economics extension services on rural communities in the 1930s. By comparing two counties in Washington state, the author analyzes the effectiveness of different extension models in reaching and influencing rural homemakers. The study reveals the impact of factors such as income, education, and social connections on participation in extension activities. The author explores the types of practices that were most commonly changed as a result of extension influence, and discusses the significance of local leaders and community organizations in the success of the program. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the role of extension services in improving the lives of rural families and the broader historical context of home economics as a field.
