Historian Annelise Orleck points out most scholars’ neglect of an important Depression-era (1929-1939) phenomenon in the United States: activism by working-class homemakers who lobbied for food and rent price controls, staged anti-eviction demonstrations and food boycotts, and created large-scale barter networks. Orleck’s research on homemakers' groups acknowledges regional differences in their political styles, but emphasizes a significant commonality: a strong labor- movement affiliation. Male unionists’ wage victories during the 1910s had improved working-class families’ standard of living, but spiraling inflation and the near-destruction of many unions during the 1920s sharply eroded these gains. Depression-era homemakers' militance was sparked by this steep decline in working-class families’ standard of living. It was also rooted in female organizers’ own union experiences. In areas where homemakers' organizations flourished, usually union strongholds, women commonly worked for wages before marriage. The wage-earning years of most leading activists in these organizations coincided with a period marked by women’s labor militance: 1909 to 1920. Women’s union experiences shaped their understanding of the home as enmeshed in a web of social and economic relationships that included unions, the marketplace, and the government. By organizing as consumers. Depression-era women shattered stereotypes of the passive homemaker, showed a keen understanding of their place in larger economic structures, and demonstrated that food and housing, like wages and hours, could be regulated by applying economic pressure.
