Abstract
The interview was conducted with Ohio natives, Nellie Estella Evilsizer Stratton (1903-1995), Jeanette Ann Rust Stratton (1933-2023), and Sarah Adkins (1955-). In this interview, they reflect on club life, homemaking, childbearing, and family management in the small towns and rural communities where they lived in Clark County Ohio. They also discuss the important role that Extension Homemakers groups played in the lives of women during that time.
This interview was conducted as part of a three-year oral history project titled Voices of American Homemakers, funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and organized by the National Extension Homemakers Council (NEHC). The project resulted in approximately 200 interviews with women across the United States, documenting their experiences in the early homemakers club movement.
