Vocationalism for Home and Work: Women's Education in the United States, 1880-1930.
Rury, John L.
History of Education Quarterly, v24 n1 p21-44 Spr 1984
The rate of female labor force participation between 1880 and 1930 increased from 15 to 25 percent. Home economics, commercial education, and industrial education were new elements of the curriculum designed for female occupations. Other programs, though coeducational, became sex-typed by the occupational roles with which they were associated. (RM)
