The History of Home Economics

The most prominent female

American chemist of the

19th century, Ellen H.

Swallow Richards (1842–

1911) was a pioneer in

sanitary engineering and a

founder of home

economics in the United

States.

She was first to suggest

that public water be treated

with chlorine.

At Vassar she was attracted to

astronomy and chemistry. Upon

graduation she applied for positions

with various industrial chemists, but

was turned down in all cases. At the

suggestion of one of these chemists,

however, she applied and was

accepted as a special student at the

Massachusetts Institute of Technology,

making her the first woman in America

to be accepted by a scientific school.

Three years later she received a second

bachelor’s degree—a B.S. from MIT—

as well as a master’s degree from

Vassar, to which she had submitted a

thesis on the chemical analysis of an

iron ore. She then continued at MIT

with hopes of earning a doctorate, but

MIT was not to award its first

doctorate to a woman until 1886. http://www.chemheritage.org/discover/online-resources/chemistry-in-history/themes/public-and-environmental-health/public-health-and-safety/richards-e.aspx


In 1875 she married Robert Hallowell

Richards, chairman of the MIT’s mining

engineering department. Supported in

her ambitions by her husband, Richards

volunteered her services as well as

$1,000 annually to further women’s

scientific education at MIT. Through her

efforts, the Women’s Laboratory was

established in 1876, and in 1879 she was

recognized as an assistant instructor,

without pay, for teaching the curriculum

in chemical analysis, industrial

chemistry, mineralogy, and applied

biology. The laboratory was closed in

1883 after MIT began awarding

undergraduate degrees to women on a

regular basis and there was no more

need for a special track

In 1884 Mrs. Richards was appointed

instructor in Sanitary Chemistry at the

Institute of Technology, a position which

she held [until…] her death. For many

years she directed the entire instruction in

the chemistry of air, water and foods, for

chemists, biologists and sanitary

engineers….

She also maintained an extensive private

practice in sanitary chemistry for many

years and acted in an advisory capacity for

a very large number of public and private

institutions. Her publications relating to

sanitation [were] numerous and varied,

and she maintained active membership in,

and participated in the meetings of local

and national societies dealing with water

supplies and public health problems. http://libraries.mit.edu/archives/exhibits/esr/esr-biography.html

Problems

*spread of deadly infectious diseases………..In 2013 only 2 of the 8 laboratory-confirmed bacterial

such as norovirus, salmonella, infections in the US decreased. The rest remained at

staphylococcus, E.coli 0156:H7, or above their previous level

and listeria

*reduced life expectancy due to poor…………In 2012 Japan, France, Switzerland and Sweden all

nutrition and lack of exercise longer life expectancy rate than Americans (+3)

*Type 2 diabetes, especially in children………in 2012 cost the healthcare system 245 billion

*obesity………………………………………..if current trajectories continue by 2030 13 states

could have obesity rates above 60%

*nonfatal injuries to children under 5 is………use of cell phones has parents distracted

on the rise

*clean water……………………………..……..sewer system built in the 1800, early 1900’s. It is

old and in need of repair

Use this URL instead of the one that is sooooo long people will make a mistake and end up at the wrong web page!

This is your QR code for this site!

Now right click (press right button on mouse or finger pad) to generate the menu that will allow you to save your QR code

To save the file to use in a PowerPoint, Word, etc. presentation

Same as Ctrl + C (make copy) Then paste (ctrl + V) into presentation

***Create a file where you keep all of your QR codes so that you can find them!

***Name the file something that tell you what the QR code is linked to or you will have to scan it to remember!

Enjoy!
