Abstract:

Tucker discusses the work of Jane S. McKimmon, who was the first director of the North Carolina Home Demonstration Clubs and the state's first home demonstration agent. She began her work in 1909, and her job took her to many rural areas across the state. Her goal was to help rural women and girls learn how to improve their homes and their lives.
