Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. "Adventures of a Home Economist" by Ava Milam Clark (published in 1969) is an autobiographical account of Clark's pioneering career in home economics education—a field that combined science, domestic management, and social reform, particularly for women. Sum…mary: Ava Milam Clark (1884-1976) recounts her life's work in the early and mid-20th century as she helped establish and expand home economics as a legitimate academic discipline in the United States and abroad. Raised on an Oregon farm, Clark's curiosity about nutrition, household management, and women's education led her to pursue higher education at the University of Chicago and Columbia University. She later became Dean of the School of Home Economics at Oregon State College (now Oregon State University), where she worked for decades. The book details her travels and consulting work in countries such as China, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines, where she helped develop home economics programs and trained educators. Her "adventures" refer both to these international experiences and to the challenges of advancing women's education in a male-dominated academic world. Clark emphasizes: 1. The importance of science-based homemaking and nutrition education. 2. The role of home economics in public health, family life, and community development. 3. Her belief that women's education was key to social progress. The memoir blends personal reflection, professional history, and social commentary, painting a vivid picture of how home economics evolved from simple domestic instruction into a global, interdisciplinary field. THIS OUTSTANDING BOOK is in near fine condition with very minor dog ears to the last four pages and a small indent on the top spine and dust jacket. It is also SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY BOTH AUTHORS, Ava Milam Clark and J. Kenneth Munford! A wonderful edition with historical relevance, when outstanding teachers like Clark made powerful improvements to our children's education! Hard cover edition with dustjacket. 432 pages.
