    Home economics emerged in the mid-1800s when Catherine Beecher championed the subject, seeking to educate farm wives in domestic science. Ellen Swallow Richards was the first woman to attend MIT and later became the first female instructor, developing the Rumford Kitchen at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair to serve healthy meals. The American Home Economics Association was formed in 1909, and today colleges offer home economics as a major called Family Consumer Science.
