Abstract

Lillian Pearl “Lillie” McCullom Steury (1902-2004), born and raised in Missouri, was an active member of the Missouri Extension Homemakers Club for more than 47 years. In this interview, she reflects on club life, homemaking, childbearing, and family management in the small towns and rural communities where she lived. She also discusses 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 1983 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.
