Focusing on the evolution of the Department of Home Economics at UC Berkeley, this book explores the interplay between gender and academic status from 1905 to 1954. It challenges traditional analyses of academic departments by highlighting how those dominated by women, such as nursing and education, were often marginalized or eliminated as administrators deemed them less useful. Through this lens, the author encourages a reevaluation of how gender influences the dynamics of academic institutions and their perceived value over time.
