Home Economics of the 1960s

I am very excited to be working on new project that is a historical fiction with Home Economics as a background. Of late, there has been much written about the value of Home Economics with an emphasis on consumer education and the quality of modern life. The story is set in the 1960s with characters that are composites of individuals and schools that are no longer in existence, but their importance is real.

I have interviewed individuals who have shared their experiences in Home Ec classes and, if you would like to share your stories, I appreciate them. Your names and schools you attended will be anonymous. I look forward to hearing from you.
