Book Description
This is the first book telling the history of Egyptian pioneers in home economics from 1937-1980. Authors focused on this period of history because it was the golden time for HE in Egypt, and was the time that the name of HE lasts. The information in this book is not only for home economics specialists but also for people interested in the history of early female education in twentieth century in Egypt. It contains rare pictures, books written by the pioneers, and biographies for pioneers of HE published for the first time. The book shows how home economics education developed, the type of education they get in the UK, France, Switzerland, famous pioneers, their books, awards, and graduation parties in the mid twentieth century. It also outlines their roles in the community, FAO, UNESCO, the situation of HE in 2018, Domestic Science and Embroidery Arts, biographies, and rare pictures. We have spent 3 years collecting information, pictures, interviewing live pioneers or their daughters, and researched in old sections of libraries to write this history! In addition to the publishing of this book a free private museum has been developed (based on data collected for this book) and built on 165m which was the first museum for pioneers of home economists in Egypt and Arab countries and also internationally based on the private work that we have done. The museum has ~100 framed pictures of pioneers, in addition to their rare books. These are not available in any library but have been collected from relatives of late pioneers.
