1. Identify ways in which the teaching of „home' science was shaped by assumptions about gender?
2. How did the teaching of science to girls change? To what extent does this mirror developments and trends in the US?
3. How did women graduates of the Home Science School negotiate their constraints and opportunities as science academics and educators?
