Coles A Splendid Piece of Work: 1912 - 2012: One Hundred Years of Arkansas's Home Demonstration and Extension Homemakers Clubs at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The author considers present-day memories of home demonstration clubs to be an insult to the bright, shrewd, energetic, sometimes heroic young county agents who taught Arkansas's rural women to be self-sustaining through two world wars, devastating droughts, floods, and the Great Depression of the 1930s. And Arkansas's isolated farm women spread their wings as they took leadership roles and embraced their communities--especially hungry school children--and later manned canning centers to help neighbors slaughter and can starving livestock during the darkest days of the 1930s. As the history travels from decade to decade, it allows the reader to see nuanced changes taking place in Arkansas's rural women. A must-read for anyone who had an Arkansas grandmother or who loves women's history! Learn more about the book--and the Hills' adventures as they speak throughout Arkansas--by simply searching for "A Splendid Piece of Work" on the Internet (or by entering arkansasruralwomenshistory.com).
