"Home economics emerged at the turn of the twentieth century as a movement to train women to be more efficient household managers. At the same moment, American families began to consume many more goods and services than they produced. To guide women in this transition, professional home economists had two major goals: to teach women to assume their new roles as modern consumers and to communicate homemakers' needs to manufacturers and political leaders. Carolyn M. Goldstein charts the development of the profession from its origins as an educational movement to its identity as a source of consumer expertise in the interwar periodto its virtual disappearance by the 1970s. Working for both business and government, home economists walked a fine line between educating andrepresenting consumers while they shaped cultural expectations about consumer goods as well as the goods themselvesGoldstein looks beyond 1970s feminist scholarship that dismissed home economics for its emphasis ondomesticity to reveal the movement's complexities, including the extent of its public impact and debates about home economists' relationship to the commercial marketplace.
